Much appreciated!

I have been too for the last while, but suddenly I see the light at the end of the tunnel (and those warm Spring days around the corner should help, am I right?)

Here’s to being able to keep moving forward (even if we have to crawl) through our rough patches and coming out stronger and wiser :) Keep it up!

I switched to vaping. Started with 24mg of nicotine (2.4 per ml) and then I vaped the 6mg (.6 per ml) then 3mg per ml.

Then I got a vape with a tiny tank. And I filled it with fruity juice instead of menthol flavors(I smoked menthols from 11-28yr old.) And it forced me to decide if it was worth it to take a puff because if I ran out I was SOL. I purposely didn't bring more with me while working to ensure I smoked less. The flavor was aweful anyway.

And lastly I switched to nicotine free. Did that off and on for about 2 weeks before I gave the rest away.

Now I can run without wheezing. It's worth it man. Food tastes better, you have more energy, and smoking cigarettes makes your penis smaller if you're a man among many other health risks.

I was told by an addict of heroin and cocaine that those were easier to quit than nicotine. Don't be too hard on yourself and never quit quitting.

I'll raise your wait with "just do". Keep going, keep doing, you're already trying and that is succeeding because the worst you can do is not try. Keep doing. Keep being, keep experiencing, keep evolving - grow your mind, your budget, your perspective, your own garden, your relationships, career, vocabulary, bookshelf - whatever matters to you, keep doing. Never wait for the good things to come or they won't - do. Do and expect the bad and good because some bad (while not always necessary) can help us appreciate the good when we achieve it, and see how far we've come from misfortune, or immaturity, circumstance or fear.

You got this. Fight the thoughts. You're bigger than your mind!
