Oh that sounds delicious yummy I love sugar but At almost 6 month of quitting I had to stop caffeine and now trying no sugar ....caffeine because it was causing me anxiety after quitting cigarrets
I’ve never been into drinks so much but I know the first couple of months is best to no drink because you still vulnerable and under training sort of saying
My best friend quit for 2 months but alcohol triggers smoking so she failed unfortunately she is back to smoke but seriously thinking of quitting and staying away from alcohol for at least 2 months after quitting
Best of luck I’m dealing with sugar now is hard for me because I love cookies cake and all that 😋
Really prefer savoury things so def want to avoid sweet stuff. Not working till 2/1 so while at home will keep busy and drink plenty of WATER ! Restrict myself on alcohol as best I can. That way hoping to reduce the cravings. If not I’ll be banging my head against the wall and tearing my hair out!!
Hi CiggieStardust , good to hear from you and that you are continuing to never give up quitting - have you begun your smoke free journey again? If so, let me know your stop date for your milestone badges and also to let us know so we can help you?
Hi Roisin. Yes I had my final cigarette on Christmas Day. Haven't had any cravings so far. Today is my second day. Drinking plenty of water and fruit juices. And find I'm eating more regularly and a little healthier - so far!!
Stay with it. Make it be "last year's thing". Don't stop deciding not to be a smoker any more. It was never your friend and (speaking personally) - I never thought it suited you at all.
I cut myself a break and ate fudgesickles. A calculated move for 2 reasons. 1. Am hypoglycemic. 2.Quitting may cause others to feel hypoglycemic bc nicotine brings sugar to bloodstream quicker than eating.
I don't condone overeating or not eating good nutrition, but going through this i let some things go for a limited time and concentrated on my addiction only. Your body will let you know. Main thing is learning the difference between what your body tells you and what your addiction tells you. You are going to make it. Be easy on you and tough toward the nicodemon that wants you to have no good in life.
You will be able to drink without smoking in the near futuro I’ve seen people did it in this forum is just a matter of patience and sacrifice ..It really pays not feeling like a slave of such horrendous addiction ..I dedicated my first 3 months to read about cigarret damages to health ..I had to do it !!
He only problem is that I was eating a lot of sugar and gained 15 lbs 😟So now I’m trying to balance my diet ..but those extra lbs were nesesary for me at the beginning ..and yes water is so important
I vape nicotine free once in a while if I’m in a social event or if I’m stressed

Excellent reply Hidden - you are doing great, don't worry about any weight gain, that can be addressed at a later stage when you are strong and solid in your journey. Hope you had a good Christmas?
I think Ciggie needed to quit drinking too. Correct me if am wrong. Either way proud of you doing it! I didn't need to quit drinking but did so i could be strong enough to quit cigs. Had to quit coffee too bc they're both triggers. Wanted to have a drink for nye but may not. Probably won't. Protected this quit for dear life.
I had a very happy smoke free chrismas Roisin ..very relaxed and with more free time to enjoy not worried about how I smell and having to get out of my house to get a smoke ..what a relieve for me this year and forever ☺️

Mm mmm love those! We made it over holiday hurdle yeehaw! Got a 90day chip for quit today (is still 2days away to 3months but wont have group til mext thur). Never thought a chip or a badge would mean so much. You're an inspiration Ms RoisonO1. Made it through first days bc of you Hercu Nozmo & will always see you included in this chip. Can honestly say you helped change my life for the better. Now to start some tai chi or quiong & get some weight off😉
Its Saturday 29 December 2017, my 4th day of quitting. I came close to smoking today except I didnt have any and was to busy doing important PC work to go out to buy any! Tearing my hair out!! BUT, NF today. Have thrown away 2 lots of biscuits, have box and bottle of wine in cupboard but am really not interested. My new furry feline is now curled up under my arm while i'm working on PC. I had to put him on cushion on my knee as he was still hiding in his basket. 3 more days and I'll have been NF for a week and doing better than I thought. Thank you all for keeping me going xx
You’re right there Karina. Was in local shop today and would usually buy cigarettes there but I was so busy packing my stuff that I never gave them a thought. 👍
