Hey Mokajava, I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said, but I wanted to chime in and add my support! You CAN quit. If you want it badly enough, it is totally possible. It sounds like you have plenty of motivating factors to help you make the right decision!

So glad to hear it's going well for you, Kate! It's nice when the triggers get fewer and farther in between. Just don't let them sneak up on you! Prepare yourself for sneak attacks. The Nicodemon is tricky. Just tell yourself that you wont light up *no matter what* and you're golden!

Support needed. Seriously desperate.

That's it. Right there. It's about never ever again taking that first puff. I know that simplifies what is a very complex addiction, but it's the truth. And I continue to remind myself of that. Just don't take that first puff, and you won't ever be a smoker again. I love my wine. I do. But I had to quit drinking in the beginning. For several months. And I still can't drink around smokers. If there are smokers anywhere in the vicinity, I just say no to alcohol. It's safer. I protect my quit at all costs. I'm very lucky that the bars here don't allow smoking anymore. -
First couple days ... now scared
abbynormal replied to AndrewAsh's topic in Quit Smoking Discussions
Welcome aboard, Andrew! You've gotten some great feedback above. I wanted to add that I've gotten heart palpitations with anxiety attacks, and anxiety attacks are common early in the withdrawal process. Your mind may not even feel all that anxious, but the symptoms will show up in your body--racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating, etc. Nicotine withdrawal can certainly cause this to happen. It's great that you got checked out just to be sure, but now IF it happens again, just remind yourself that your body is healing from a very nasty addiction, and take some slow, deep breaths. -
