soldierant
(8,399 posts)I quit a bit over fifty years ago, and it's still the hardest thing I'vs ever done in my life. But I can hope you find the strength eventually (I did it before there were patches or other medical help. It might be easier for you than is was for me, but it would still be hard.)
soldierant

BTW congrats on the smoking. Fortunately I've never been much of a drinker but I will not ever have a taste of beer if there's cigarettes around.

(12,865 posts)Any baked treat works. That late morning or mid-afternoon coffee really goes with a delicious pastry, but if I had a choice a homemade cinnamon bun with lots of cinnamon swirls and some sort of frosting or glaze would be it!

I actually quit the day Trump came down the escalator. I watched that fiasco and never picked one up again.
Hang in there. We need you! Your Lounge threads always take the edge off for me, with the stressful times we are living in.

(13,266 posts)Dipped in the coffee until soaked with it. A local coffee shop called "Cool Beans" makes them perfectly but we used to have a Bruegger's Bagels in town that made them just as good.

Make drip coffee through a gold filter into a thick ceramic cup first thing when wake up.
Been doing this since mid 70s.
Moved to Berkeley for university in December 1973. Several blocks away there was a coffee store on the corner of Walnut and Vine. Bought by telephone order for decades.
Still drink Peet's coffee when can. Have a large sack of Organic French Roast one of my neighbors bought for me last Sunday.
