Stopped Smoking. Started boiled Sweets
I had my last cigarette on 17/01/2025 wasn't planning on quitting but I was poorly in bed all day on the 18th and didn't have one, so thought. Hey why not try and quit.
I've smoked for 23 years give or take. I'm not vaping. So just going cold turkey. Things are going OK but I've wanted one these past few days.
I am currently deep into a new addiction though. Boiled sweets. I'm on Pear Drops and Dandelion and Burdock sweets. I'm doing 3-4 of these a day (2 of each and from a proper old sweet shop) so in the grand scheme that's not too bad. And they are helping stem the cravings. And as much as sugar isn't good for you. Smoking is worse.
I'm not sure If I'll smoke again. I quit gambling in 2019 and haven't done that since so fingers crossed smoking goes the same way.
