Hey there nice to join this amazing forum and community.
I have been reading the forum for some days and found It really helpful in my war against nicotine.
I quit smoking after 15 years , I am 28 and start smoking around 13.
I have been smocking 40 to 60 @#$ the day
I never tried to stop before , its my first attempt , and I am doing this cold turkey .
No nicotine replacements nothing
I am currently in the second week and feeling strong and confident , the only thing that scares me are those mind games that the addiction plays with me when I am at my best days.
The reason I quit is a bit complicated .
Although I can feel that smoking is slowly eating me inside , It doesn't affect me yet a lot due to my age.
I don't have yet any serious problem that will force me out of this addiction.
But
One thing I cant tolerate with my self is stupidity and lack of judgment.
My generation has been warned (unlike people that are now 50++) ,
Has been warned by a hole generation of traped people that suffer because of the smoking and have felt the lies of the tobacco company's and their dirty games their big money-traps .
My generation must listen decide and act , we have to end this dirty habit that makes trillions of dollars for some and death-misery for others .
The war with nicotine addiction must be fought now
Later may sometimes be to late.
Off course in this very short period of my new life as a non smoker i realized that I have been a slave of a chemical substance that manipulated me.
I realized that I can breath I can smell I can taste and finally I took back back my personality and mental stability.

Hi Alex ~ Welcome and Congrats on taking back your freedom. Quitting is very hard but very doable. I smoked 42 years and am now 5 1/2 years FREE and loving it. It was the hardest thing I ever did, but the thing I am most proud of. I fought the fight, I won, and I never want to turn back. You mentioned being a slave of a chemical substance, you are free now, keep fighting the fight! _________________

YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE GETTING IT RIGHT IN YOUR MIND WHICH IS WHERE THE BIGGEST BATTLE TAKES PLACE. JUST KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS YOU HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR...DO YOU REALLY WANT TO THROW THAT TIME AWAY....HECK, NO...EVERY MINUTE IS PRECIOUS BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY WE HAVE NOW DO WE?
