NOPE for me too!

Yes Joybella - you have to just power through these early days. I know it gets tiring trying to fight the urges to smoke but you just have to not give in and resist those urges to smoke. Today's struggles will give you strength to face tomorrow and things do start to settle down after a bit. It's different for everyone in terms of time frame but things do get better. Just take it one day or even one hour at a time. It WILL get better - I promise!! Come on here and read everything you can about the addiction of smoking. I spent a few days doing almost nothing else. Do whatever you need to do not to smoke.You CAN do this! We stand behind you in this fight :)

I think it was my day 3 & 4 I couldn't leave the house even. Was completely brain-dead. It will get better, you just gotta battle through the tough days in the beginning. You'll make it - just bear down and power through it ;)

Glad to hear this Joybella. You're determination sounds just right. Like Doreensfree said, one day at a time. Don't overthink it, just don't smoke. We're all cheering you on ..... Go Girl!!

Joybella - You can start feeling a lot better and improve your quality of life in your senior years but only if you have the commitment to Never Take Another Puff. You know that one cig. even one puff, will lead you right back to where you are now. We are all nicotine addicts and the only avenue of escape is to quit for good. You have made that decision and with the support of your new friends here on this site, you will be able to do this. It won't be easy, especially in the beginning but it will get better with time and it will be so worth while for you. Let's do this together starting now. One day at a time. One hour at a time when necessary even 1 minute at a time. You CAN do it but, you MUST commit to not smoking; not even one puff, Not One Puff Ever; that's the NOPE daily pledge. Make that pledge daily and refocus yourself daily by doing that. Wist you well Joybella. We are here to cheer you on and support you all the way!

What ever you think will work best for you then, try it. In the end though, understand that this will come down to you wanting to be smoke free more than being a smoker. I would strongly recommend that you do not buy a pack of cigs. This is not a good idea under any circumstances. If they are that available, the temptation to light up is likely to get the better of you in the early days of your quit. Also, tell your friend you are quitting smoking. Your friend should know about this and I would think they will be supportive to you. Let us know how you're doing. We are here to lend support as needed :) Please also read all the information you can about this addiction. Once you truly understand there is no benefit to smoking, you will be able to give it up much more easily.

Oh my, I have almost no idea what you just said but strangely, I think I agree ??????????
