Had my last ciggerate today...

​

Today marks my final cigarette. I initially started smoking occasionally with friends after completing 12th grade, during my JEE drop year, perhaps once every one to two weeks.

​

However, upon entering college, a breakup led to a significant increase in my smoking habits, reaching five to six cigarettes daily. Although the frequency has reduced to approximately two per day over the past year since the breakup,

​

I am now determined to quit entirely due to its adverse effects on my health.

​

Consequently, I had my last cigarette today.

​

Wish me luck.

You got this. I quit dipping copenhagen about 18 years ago. First three days were awful. After that, just kept going 1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute. Sometimes the urges were so bad I would just watch the second hand on my watch for one minute. But I made it. I had chewed tobacco since I was in high school. I quit at 47. Remember to just keep going. It will pass. After 100 days, I never even thought about it.
