So, I've passed the 9 month mark off of opiates, and now I'm ready to tackle the smokes. My life is amazing these days, and I'm ready. I'm going from about 1/2 pack a day to the nicorette tomorrow. I don't expect this to be as acute of a withdrawal as the opiates, but I expect it to be just as difficult overall, just in different ways.

You guys were such a great help when I quit the opiates that I'm back for support with the nicotine. I'll check in tomorrow with how my day goes.

I quit cigs this morning... I have been wanting to but always caved. I went the whole day & I'm so proud! How did your first full day go?

The first day went ok... day 2 not so much... I was kind of on an emotional roller-coaster all evening. Day 3 has been much smoother... I've carried an arsenal of ice-breakers, nicorette, cinnamon toothpicks, and sour patch kids and done rather well today. Day 3 almost over and still going strong!

Haven't! I just celebrated 1 year off the opiates on 7/19, and 2 months off the smokes on 7/13. Coming up on 3 months. I definitely feel over the hump now. I still have the occasional craving (mostly that first whiff of second hand smoke, when i'm occasionally exposed... and am like "oh yeah that smells great"), and the occasional temper tantrum

Well done dragonfire.
