November 3, 20187 yr Hi, I'm Ang and I've smoked for almost 40 years. I smoked my last 31 hours ago. I don't have to quit forever today, I just have to quit right now today.
November 3, 20187 yr Hi Ang! Welcome to your new life as a non smoker and welcome to the train. You'll find great support here
November 3, 20187 yr Hi & welcome AngFitz! You are correct! Don't look too far ahead. Just focus on today. Tomorrow will come soon enough and we'll deal with it then. I hope you do take advantage of the wealth of information available on this site to educate yourself about this addiction. That will be the key to your success. There's lots of great reading pinned to the top of pages here that will help you get started. Take a look around and let us know if you need any help. Lots of people here who will come running. Try the Quit Smoking Discussions Page to start with. All those threads pinned (green pin to the left of the title) are a great place to start. Reading and even playing some games here on the games page is a great way to distract yourself in the early days. Stay true to your commitment AF and keep the quit day 1 is done and you're well into day 2. Keep up the great work!
