Hello everyone!
Just introducing myself. I think the people posting on these boards have a lot of solid advice and it's fun to read the stories that I can actually relate to, having "quit" so many times, but as of yet I haven't made the pledge. I still can't imagine my life without cigarettes but the pressure is consistent from my non-smoking partner who hates it (which is fair enough.) I've promised her so many times I'd stop and I feel bad that I can't stay true to my word.
I've smoked for about 7 years and "quit" a few times, once for a period of about 3 months. I've apparently got signs of asthma, I'm certainly not as fit as I was when I was 18 and I worry about the damage I'm doing to my body every day. Despite this I don't know how I'd fill time in the day without smokes and instead do something productive with that time. Is that what non-smokers do? I literally can't imagine my life without smokes and that's usually the first hurdle whenever I try to quit. I just don't see how non-smokers "live" without them. I'm hoping that by reading some of the posts here I'll get to learn about some of the people who do just that and maybe inspire me to do the same.
Anyway feel free to leave me a reply, I'd love to chat to some of you.
Kind regards,
Luke
