Now, more than two months after I quit, the reek of tobacco smoke makes me retch, I don\u2019t need to light a cigarette when I drink coffee first thing in the morning and I can finally wear turtlenecks without feeling strangled. My house is now scattered with rustling wraps from (supposedly sugar-free) candy , but the stinky ashtrays are gone forever. When I get angry I am now able to calm down without having to lie myself that smoking is my go-to shrink. It\u2019s dawned on me that buying cigarettes is such a waste of money. I am certain I took the best decision ever when I quit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;150507&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-feroe-11-549&#8243; isotope_mode=&#8221;vertical&#8221; medias=&#8221;119990&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,caption,icon&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_width=&#8221;12&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;185134&#8243; el_class=&#8221;rb-gallery&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;461563&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;400&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-524109&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;146789&#8243;]March 19 is now marked as a big day in my personal calendar.

I had bet all my money on it and knew that if this failed, then I was hopeless. Procrastinating, I kept saying: \u201dI\u2019ll start reading it on New Year\u2019s Day\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll start it on Monday\u201d or \u201cThe day after tomorrow, when I get home, I\u2019ll read it in peace and quiet\u201d. Delay after delay until it was clear that I was only fooling myself. So I grabbed it and chose <strong>the easy way to stop smoking.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=&#8221;&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;405369&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; font_family=&#8221;font-175345&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;171956&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;383045&#8243;]What\u2019s even more motivating and worth celebrating is my belief that I quit for good. Back in my youth I used to think smoking helped me make friends, be part of a social circle. Now I think the effect is the exact opposite: smoking makes you a freak that people want to avoid. I might be some sort of a radical, but the last couple of months made me perceive smokers as \u201cold school\u201d and \u201cnot so cool\u201d. They seem to miss the whole point: it\u2019s living, not filling your lungs with smoke. Unbelievable how quickly I converted \ud83d\ude0c.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=&#8221;&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;943243&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; font_family=&#8221;font-175345&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;171956&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;209255&#8243;]I might have continued to smoke until I turned 80 if I hadn\u2019t started a project as big as life. So I thought to myself: \u201cYou\u2019re travelling all the way to the North Pole and you\u2019re going to smoke there, you stupid old fool? No way!\u201d My first trip to Svalbard Archipelago is planned for July &#8211; I would be smoke-free for four months by then. Numbers worked their miracle, probably &#8211; I read somewhere that three months after you quit, the dopamine level gets back to normal and your brain won\u2019t beg for nicotine anymore.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row=&#8221;&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;570853&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; font_family=&#8221;font-175345&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;171956&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;455334&#8243;]So here I am one month before leaving, getting ready for the Arctic, checking box after box.
