It's been 10 hours now since I haven't had a cigarette. Well, more like 18 combined with my sleep but that doesn't really count since I usually don't smoke in my sleep.
I was getting really restless, my hands were getting really hot and sweaty and my feet as well and I felt like I had to go and do something. Going out felt like a real challenge cause that's when I usually smoke the most but I felt like it would be better than just staying inside and walking in a circle.
I took my last nicotine gum that I had from last summer's attempt and some money and went out before the sun had even gone up. As it was rising I decided to take some pictures since most of the past days have been so dark and you have barely been able to see any light.
There are the times where you wish you had a much better camera than the one on your phone.
I have to admit I thought of smoking a lot of times as I was out walking.
In the store as I was standing still while looking through some new nicotine gum I could feel my heart-rate was really high. I continued walking home and need to get back to some gaming now to keep my mind busy.
Hope you enjoyed these photos.
You tryin' to quit for good? Best of luck with it. Never had that particular addiction, but battled many others in life.

You're welcome dude. I found that my addictions took hold of me the most when two things were happening - either life wasn't very challenging or I didn't have enough awesome things to look forward to (or both). Not sure if that helps but figured I'd throw it out there.

Aahhh what a beautiful scenery for lighting one up, lol. Good shots by the way. I'm not sure if this tip will help you but the best way to overcome an addiction is by replacing it with another addiction (that might be less harmful). Video gaming is a start. Maybe working out and chewing gum might work too. I mean those are just a few things that come to my mind. I'm sure you can be more creative than me considering that you have been doing a great job writing on Steemit :)

After 3 weeks the nicotine is out of your body. Then it willbe easier. After 6 months comes a second wave of nor-adrenaline.... Just keep this in mind.
Celebrate your new nonsmoking life once in a while and do something special.
I keep my fingers crossed and wish you motivation, power and a consequent NO!
Wonderful shots btw

Congrats on this excellent step toward a better health. If you're going to be a Steemit millionaire, you'll want to live as long as possible to enjoy your wealth! I've never smoked, but I've seen people struggle to quit. I think it's a great idea to leverage the Steemit community for support and encouragement. I'm doing this for a daily exercise blog, and the accountability of others looking for my reports daily keeps me on the ball without fail. Feel free to join us if that'll be an extra boost in the right direction. Good luck!

You probably know or have heard a dozen, erm a thousand times before - But please stop smoking ;)
I have seen young families torn apart by lung-cancer due to heavy smoke. You don't want to be that.
I was nearly throwing up when a 27-year old mother of a 3-year old told me she would never see her son going to school since she had lung cancer in a final stadium.
Think about it, please!

Good decision not to start this project on January 1st...but still a huge task for you.
Me personally helped to quit only until the next cigarette. So for me it was easier to set short term goals than to confess myself never to smoke again.
The funny thing is....the desire for a cigarette only takes few seconds.. unfortunately very often a day.
I had my last cigarette approximately 14 days ago and still don't want a cigarette while writing about it :)

Your phone did a nice job with the photo's, so pretty! And well done for pushing through those cravings, once you're on the other side you wonder why you ever craved them.

Just keep going! You will succeed! But don't forget that you can only stop smoking, you will never quit!I used to be a heavy smoker and had given up smoking for 6 years. And I restarted. It's crazy. At a party I thought I can afford a smoke and in a few days I bought a whole package and...
Three years ago I exchanged smoking for vaping. But I should give it up, too. Just a bad habbit.
By the way, nice photos!

Do it now acidyo, not like I did it on November 28th 8pm when the taxi came to my house to take me to the airport to fly me to a town 170 miles away, so I could check into a hospital and have the top half of my left lung removed because of cancer. I have not smoked since then. That's a tough way to quit smoking. So stick with it. Keep trying, do not give up. Just make a deal with yourself to simply not buy any more.

Stay strong, dude. I know it's tough but you're really making the best choice here by trying to quit. Smoking will fuck your life up later on, I learned that after watching my parent slowly become disabled due to her lungs not functioning properly. Just keep yourself occupied whether it's by gaming or something else, make sure you've got your gum and don't be around people who smoke if you can help it. You'll get through it this time, dude.
Also, the pictures are pretty dope. You seem to find some really great places to take photographs pretty often. Maybe you should look into getting a DSLR or something if photography is something you'd like to do more often as a hobby, man.
