Sorry, Kevin, it won't work like that. You're putting the responsibility of not smoking off onto other people. It has to come from you.

That's why it was a big brain move

So about that... lol.

The average post on Lemmy gets more attention than the average post on Reddit.

Good luck friend, I quit smoking 5 months ago and I've noticed that the random cravings have completely dissapeared a few weeks ago, I made it. First week feels like crap, but it gets so much easier after. It feels so good to be free of this shit, now I only have to tackle my porn addiction.

Good on you! Quit smoking in May 💪

Don't do it for us. Do it for yourself.

Two years, I wish the best for you!

180 days to make a habit, looks like you’re making a habit of not smoking. 😁

Post is at 84 upvotes. Think you can go that long then you can probably quit for good. Good luck!

I quit smoking over ten years ago - smoked since I was 11. I still get super rare random cravings but when I give in, it's really, really gross. It literally only lasts for like a single drag and then ew. Good luck! This is the hard part, I promise. Once you're past your first month, it gets easier. First year, so much better. First five years, like it never happened.

Good luck dude

I quit nicotine this year. Wasn't a smoker, but used nic pouches for 5 years. It was definitely the hardest thing I have ever tried to quit, but I'm so glad I did. Just hang in there. It didn't stick my first time, but I got there eventually. No cravings at all anymore, don't think about it, and I feel so much healthier physically as well as mentally.

Please read the Alan Carr book, lots of people have found it a really effective way of changing your mindset around smoking, which is one of the hardest parts of breaking the habit.
