I started pretty young and have been smoking for more than a decade. The other day I received some pretty devastating news (related to immigration and whatnot) and decided to quit on a whim, for good this time. I had been thinking about doing so for a good minute, but I always found some type of excuse, or “this is not a good time to do so”, but at the end of the day, life is crazy and there’s always going to be something. I quit drinking around a year and a half ago, and I think that it helps tremendously with this process as well. I cannot imagine I’d be able to be successful with this process if I was still partaking. Anyway, I am still very cautious and vigilant regarding cravings as it is very very early still. I went out last night and actually gave in, asked for a cigarette, and thankfully the person didn’t give it to me. I kind of took it as a sign and I’m very grateful he didn’t give it to me lol. Still, it is kind of hard to picture a life going out without nicotine, but it is what it is. If you have any tips about how to deal with that specific scenario, I’d greatly appreciate it. I feel my body is purging from the nic, and I’m coughing pretty gnarly stuff. Hopefully that goes away. That’s it! I just wanted to share

You can do this @shy just like we all did. We all know how hard it is and you will get amazing support from us, but you have to make up your mind that you won't smoke anymore, not even one puff ever! We are addicts and always will be. I can promise you that the withdrawal symptoms will go away, you just have to give it some time. Did you see the Games section that we have? Play some of the games because they will keep your mind off smoking. You can definitely do this!!

Thanks so much everyone!! You all have helped me so much during those beginning days and months. I honestly don't think I would have been able to quit without your support!! @Reciprocity I forgot as well, I didn't realize it until I saw Doreen post it. Onward to year 4.

I’d rather….. -15

Just cleaned up and put on my patch ready to face the first day as a non smoker

NOPE for today!

Thank you all. Today is a new day and I will do this finally.

Yes to this! I recall you @Reciprocity and many others giving me this advice earlier in my quit, it was hard to adjust to a different way of thinking but reading it now it really does help, it just took a little longer for my stubborn mind!

Don't be too hard on yourself, you've acknowledged you have failed one day (yourself only) however onwards and upwards! You'll have many more days you'll find difficult, there's no point in saying you won't unfortunately, Yes I do love to bring good news lol Today is a new day! Focus on today, tomorrow can wait.
