Congrats isn’t really the way to put this…I’m 4 months smoke free and I still dream about them. They never get gross, you wont stop loving them, you’ll even find your self purposefully standing closer to smokers. The good news is that you’ll stop feeling trashy, and beer & bourbon taste so much better that it makes it all worth it. Good luck sir, take solstice in knowing there are others out there as furious about not smoking as you.
I’m six years smoke free — it can be done. Thanks for the great music, sir.
I’ve only hade one cigarette in my entire life, but I’d like to chip in as well and cheer you on! That’s ok right?
thanks for the words of support. i gotta be honest its fucking tough, as you all may know – except you johan, but thats ok. i’ve cheated a couple times, i gotta admit, but in 48 hours i’ve had only 3 as opposed to 40. so, im getting there…. sort of.
