One Big Day in Unafraid

Almost 4 weeks nicotine free. Needless to say, the past 4 weeks have felt like one giant, neverending, humongous, eternal, no-end-in-sight, biggest fucking day ever. But, on the bright side, I’ve managed to do it pretty much cold turkey. Was smoking and vaping. Vaping was as neat and dandy as anything, but I also smoked cigarettes. Hell, what can I say? Liked the taste, plus they felt nostalgic. I’d say I was about 50/50. I’d vape indoors, but then when I’d drive or be outside (which was often) I’d smoke. You know, I never really thought about it until I started writing this, but that’s kind of weird, right? Like, usually with most people it’s one or the other. Unless you’re a smoker that’s currently in the transitioning process to vaping, which I wasn’t. I dunno, I liked both.
But, anyway, I’ll be 4 weeks without any smoking or vaping in a few days. Gotta say, it actually isn’t that bad. Oh, don’t get me wrong, there has been a few times past few weeks where all I could think was “maaaaaan if i could just have 1 cigarette i’ll be fiiiine.” But I was able to just ride that feeling out. I was expecting it to be much worse going by what others had told me. Granted, I’m only a month in, so it’s not like I’m that far down the road, but still. Not bad. Wasn’t sure if I’d be able to make it this far.
I do still have my delta-8 vape though. But that’s not nicotine. Can’t be expected to give up all my vices, right? ;)

I quit cold turkey a few years ago. But I was ready to quit. The craving really fucks you up those first few weeks/months and you wonder how you filled the time during those cigarette breaks but at some point it just stops being that way. I used to feel nostalgic when I went to bars and watched people going outside to smoke. Those used to be my favorite time to socialize. But yeah, just one day at a time.
