Day 1 and my kinda silly reason for finally quitting.

Fantastic ! You need to completely change how you're looking at the dirty filthy things. First of all don't be fooled, cigarettes CAUSE your anxiety, they don't help it. Think about how many calm smokers you know. And isn't it always the most high strung people who chainsmoke. Yeah. It's a vicious ridiculous trap. You actually believe what causes your anxiety cures it as well. Probably the greatest trap of all time. What's good though, is that as soon as you realize that, you can get out of it. Like a magic trick being ruined. The illusion is dead and no longer fools you. So you "suffer" through a few minor withdrawals (smoking puts you in fulltime withdrawal anyway) and cut off the chain. That's the only way to stop it.

Second. You have been also fooled into thinking you're giving something up or sacrificing something. You aren't. There is not a single benefit whatsoever to smoking. Not even a small one. Nothing. You're literally only giving up pain, stink, anxiety, slavery and so on (we all know the bad things they do I don't need to list everything)

Third. The nicotine monster in your belly takes 3-4 days to kill completely. That's it. Withdrawals should feel good, they are minor, quick, and without pain. They are your body healing and purging a disease. Laugh at them and enjoy them. You won't ever have to deal with them again once they're gone. Unless you keep smoking and stay in permanent withdrawal, anxiety, stink, and slow death.

Fuck cigarettes.
