I smoked for almost 20 years. I lost track of how many times I tried - and failed - to quit. Last December I just felt done. Put it down and haven’t gone back to it. I even had a few cigarettes while out with a friend in March and had no desire to go back to it after. I know a few other people who quit like that, but far more who have struggled with it for years and still smoke.
I have no idea what changed for me. Every other attempt failed, even if I felt really ready to quit.
This is my story, too. I’ll have a few if I go out to a bar, but I’m done doing that shit all the time; having to go outside when I’m home, in my car, sneaking out at family gatherings, etc.
However, if I were to return to hanging out at bars a lot, I would absolutely become a full time smoker again.
the correct answer was “any part of the background pattern” because it’s not got a photo of a purchaseable product yet but it will do as soon as more sponsorship deals come in
Used to smoke 2 packs a day. Quit 20 years ago. Quit because I figured I always smelled like smoke which greatly diminished the dating pool. I missed it every day until I managed to get hooked on nicotine pouches. Was using 10-15 of the 8mg On every day. Managed to do that in secret for years. Quit those about a year ago after my wife found out. Now I get to miss smoking AND nicotine pouches every single day. I love nicotine. I miss it every single day. I think about it all the time. If I ever found myself single again I would go back in a heartbeat. I am salivating just writing this. It is evil shit.
I quit smoking and got on the nicotine lozenges. I was eating a bunch of lozenges, almost constantly. Then I started kinda smoking again, but didn’t stop the lozenges. Then I had a stroke which left me with a permanent disability, likely partially caused by wild blood pressure swings due to high levels of nicotine.
I quit by default after 3 weeks in a rehab center. The lesson here is… quit before the hospital. It’s worth it.
First time I quit I’d get the occasional craving, the second time I have maybe had a craving once. I think what helped me the second time was a minor health scare, (why is my tongue sloughing?), first kid on the way, and I reallly got into cardio
Edit: I smoked from 2007 to 2014? And then 2017? To 2020
Amount varied widely, but I probably went through a pack in 3 days average. Only hit a pack a day during finals week heh.
Did you solve it? It looks as if it’s generated. I would guess it’s the lower fridge in case the items are supposed to be falling and the fridge will be the first one to hit the floor.
