Quit on March 13th, on my way back from Costa Rica. This isn't my first attempt at quitting but I found that it's easier to do when there's an environment change. So while in CR I was smoking a lot, but that was over as soon as I woke up the morning I had to get on the plane back.
I haven't had a smoke or cigar or anything of that nature since, but I did smoke some sheesha at the beginning of April, not sure if that counts as a slip. In a way I guess so, since there's nicotine in it, but I don't feel too bad about it.
The other thing I need to vent, is the feeling you get when you're out and enjoying a drink. Is that gonna go away or what?? I don't even have regular cravings anymore, but they sure crawl out after having a drink. It just feels so lame, like the time you're spending is missing that certain element that makes it an "awesome" time. Like a toy that was taken away from me haha. Can't help but think of future times that I will feel kind of deprived when partying, and it's a bit sad. I guess my addiction was worse than I thought. Just gotta stick with it and give it time I suppose...
PS: Awesome thread, it helps...
