Change your base of thinking and your thinking will undoubtedly change.

Choose to measure your time free not your time without.

You're not living your life without 'it'. You are living your life truly free of 'it'.

One of the many wonderful moments I have experienced since stopping my use of nicotine was when I realized that I truly no longer want a cigarette. It was especially wonderful since I thought that I would always "suffer" as a result of quitting. What an amazing revelation when I realized it was the opposite - I suffered every time I fed the addiction!

Thanks JoeJ. I remember when I was new here at Freedom and you had written about "putting down" nicotine. I could relate to that too. I just read an article in The New Yorker and the author wrote about his experience as a smoker. He describe the end of his smoking career by saying he had "finished with smoking". Today,...

Newby here. I quit April 22nd. It seems I did all my cogitating and writing about smoking over the last several years while still unable to conceive of quitting, I've got a stack of legal pads about four feet tall!!!

There's not much for me to say; you guys have said it all. No wonder it's so hard to quit for most people when the advice given out all over the place is so bogus. At last I have an intelligent group to hang out with. Way to go!

One of the underlying currents here at Freedom is that what happens when we each say 'No More - Enough!' to tobacco products of all types is not really what is commonly called quitting.
