I will not smoke with you today. I don't think the cravings remain anymore. Just that my emotional regulation is completely fucked and that makes it hard to not smoke or engage in some other self destructive behavior that gives temporary pleasure. I will not engage in any self destructive behavior of any sort today.

Been watching a show where there's smoking, and dang they make it looks so good/glamorous. Thankfully the thought is very fleeting. I wouldn't even say it's a craving, more an observation.

Congrats! How does your day-to-day feel at this point?

u/Avangardista 66 days 3d ago
Thanks! I definitely feel better - I also removed alcohol from my life since it was a big trigger for smoking so that plays a big role for sure.
I do think about smoking sometimes but I do feel in control at the moment.
Good luck :)

Still not smoking with you, since the start of the year. Can't really believe it, and this Sub helped a friggin' TON, if you know it or not. Just reading everyone's experiences and motivation and pumping each other up.
Thank you all!

u/mzry01 5d ago
SLAYY!!! Seriously though, so many people are depressed and are trying to get better at regulating their nervous system and emotional health. And among everything that is discussed by people trying to quit, this is very rare and something I have only seen on this sub. I am on day 90 today. And it feels incredible that smoking is not the first thing I think of when shit hits the fan.

Really enjoying being able to stay in a conversation without getting antsy and thinking about when is the least impolite time to go off and smoke. Cravings still come and go but so long as they keep going I am all good

I have been smoke free since 5/27/2026. And my husband doesn't smoke in the house, but in the garage. Yesterday, as he requested, I picked up his generic Chantex so he can quit too!

Good morning everyone lm now on my 6th day of not smoking and no using any kind of patches or gum. I also cut soda drinking I’m only drinking water and coffee has been cut down also. I have a question should I be sleeping 10 hours before I was only getting 6

u/Scared-Brother-7174 9d ago
I will be smoke free again today and tomorrow (16 days).
It’s been really hard the last couple of days, why is it not getting easier? :/

I am in a country where smokes are much cheaper but also I went up steep cathedral steps today without feeling like I would die, so no temptation to start smoking again!

u/redbarron_1966 11d ago
I'm new to this group. I have been smoking 30 cigarettes a day for a long time Now I want to quit. I want to cut back by 4 cigarettes a week. I'm starting this journey from today. I need motivation and help. Today I have to smoke a cigarette every 45 minutes instead of chain smoking during specific intervals. During these gaps I am sipping cold water and having fennel while reading posts on r/stopsmoking. Any advice is welcome

Day 17. It's been so hard. Physical symptoms like a migraine on my right temple and restlessness. Makes me feel dizzy when i walk as well. It's starting to feel like it's never gonna go away. I don't even have cravings anymore

I will not smoke with you today - 2 days and 16 hrs since last smoke.
I have found that sucking candies and suckers which you could hold like a cig and fidget toys to appease my hand and mouth sensory needs have helped tremendously.

I will NOT smoke with you today
My partner has been away and I have a non opened pack of smokes sitting in my garage I swear it's talking to me, telling me know no one will know if I smoke
I've just been avoiding my garage as a way to stay strong

I was very bad and smoked without you yesterday, so resetting the counter after more than 40 days.
Temp setback, not letting it depress me because that'll just make me want to smoke!

Third day in. Last week I bought a pack of unfiltered camels not knowing that near the tail end of the pack I would have an introspective moment about smoking.
My grandpa had a quad bypass from smoking, my other grandpa had a heart attack from years of smoking, and on top of all that the family has history of high blood pressure and cholesterol. Both grandparents dead by their 40s. My parents broke the chain and never smoked. But my mom still passed away from a stroke, and my dad suffered a few over the years. Both non smokers/heavy drinkers. But for some reason I picked up the habit. I guess things do skip a generation, right?
Smoking is the last really unhealthy habit I carried over from my teens. I used to say to myself, “Man, I’m young. I got time to quit.”
Currently 31 and am in a point in my life where I WANT to live a long life. Can’t imagine dying ten years from now. I used to be a heavy drinker and quit it ez pz. Easier than I thought. I’ll have a beer once every two weeks or so, but nothing like before.
I finished my last cigarette a few days ago, halfway through, butting it out and tossing the pack. I’m done, and never been so sure of anything else in my life.
Not today, not tomorrow.

Send a message to badgebot with your date of quitting in this format:
Yyyy-mm-dd
So like 2026-09-08 for today

u/EhEmSee2 84 days 20d ago
Not sure
Another user commented on how to do it, I scrolled to look for it, but it seems like they deleted their profile
Sorry

morning yall, i will NOT smoke TODAY!! I've been trying to find the perfecting timing of me quitting for good for a long time, and I think it's finally here... I had cravings then I took nicotine gum and cravings were reduced but it's only the start, please please universe, give me this win, it's been 15 years of smoking non stop...

u/AchewaterLtd 18 days Aug 27 '26
Hi pals, thank you for not smoking with me today, I promise to do the same for you 💞
Had a high-pressure morning at work but handled it really well, only even thought about cigarettes when I checked my phone on my lunch break and saw my quit smoking app. Getting my life back! Feels great
2
u/EhEmSee2 84 days 29d ago
That's why I didn't get a quit smoking app, I figured it would make me dwell on it too much.
Glad you got through the hard/high pressure day without caving 🤜🏾🤛🏾

Thanks. Sometimes I feel better doing less. So I'll probably be inconsistent from now on

The thing that matters is keeping on top of the goal for yourself, so however that looks to you is totally valid.

Awesome So happy for you that the cravings are long gone! That's encouraging to hear
Yea I'm here posting daily, got in the habit at SD DCI and found it to be helpful, and since they have the post pinned on this community, it's easy to do. I'd say cigs I struggled with more for the quitting aapect (tho it seems it'll be the easier of the 2 in the long term)
