Well technically it’ll be 24 hours tonight at 9pm est but I’m not buying a pack today so I already count it as a day. Been tough so far, cravings came on hard and lasted for about a couple of hours. I want to see if I can beat 20 days smoke free, I can do it again and this time stick with it for good, I hope.
The biggest thing that helped me quit once upon a time was someone telling me that the chemical addiction to smoking lasts 72 hours, everything after that is habitual. If you can kick the 72 hours, the rest is in your head.
Having that information let me constantly remind myself it’s bullshit habits in my head and made it significantly easier.
No idea how true. But that doesn’t matter if it worked.
This and having a replacement habit for the hand to mouth action is how I got free.
