Other - Kind of wish I still smoked, Just over a month nicotine free. I've come to realise I cant just have one cigarette or allow nicotine into my system at all otherwise its a vicious cycle, (after 15 years or so of smoking and as of the past few years vaping on and off) I do think, okay let me take a "something" break, its like a empty feeling when I grab my coffee or feel like I've worked hard and deserve a reward, but I’m no longer waking up with a swollen tongue, canker sores, a rough throat etc, my body is no longer constantly craving a substance which I suppose is good and kind of freeing in a way. I cant however help but feel like its a matter of time before I’m smoking again, there’s a constant feeling of "when will I give in" or "what kind of stressful event is going to trigger my relapse", for context throughout the 15 or so years I've stopped before but never longer than a couple days so I guess this is progress.

Sorry for the essay.

If you get that craving pop a peppermint in your month,it apparently helps.
 
I quit when I was in standard 3 (Grade 5 for the newer humans). Smoked, most likely puffed, 3 cigarettes on one day and then decided it's not for me.
It most likely means I never started, but technically I quit on the day I started.

As per the rules, I did vote other. I smoked lots of mary jane, some dmt, and I tried a Winston once. Disgusting.

Nothing destroys the sense of self like one puff and you're in another universe. I am appreciative of the fact that it's only 12 minutes. What scares me is Ayahuasca. I don't think I could last hours. I mean don't get me wrong, going to the amazon to do it just once is on the bucket list.

I must have stopped and re-started 5 times, each for about 6 months. Cutting down for years first made the difference, like my body had to learn not to have crave memory.

But still careful, easy to start again.

I can see how it has a 99% success rate in curing heroin addiction.
