I'm Back.......Again


Lilley

Recommended Posts

So I have decided that tonight I will smoke my last cigarette and go to bed a non smoker.

 

Things seem to be falling into place in my mind and tonight is definitely the night. I can't just bin what I have and get going - I'm someone who has to have a plan.

 

What has brought me to this point is :

 

The wonderful support in this thread. You all have invested time and effort and I need to put some time and effort into starting my quit ♥️

 

It's shameful that I came back a year ago and I'm still flouncing around here as a smoker 🙄

 

I can sit around like a Debbie Downer and complain about how hard this is to do, or I can grow a pair and just get on with it and love being a non smoker

 

My left foot and ankle is getting blacker by the day. I have numbness, daily cramping and intense itching. It's clearly not serious as it's been going on for months but why wait until it's too late for health issues

 

And the final reason is I really want this and I CAN do it 😀

This is great to hear Lilley. Everyone has that one moment where it just clicks and you're ready mentally for this journey. I glad you have gotten that point. Now is where you put in the work to become a happier and healthier version of yourself as a non smoker. You can do this, just have faith in yourself and lean on us for support.

I'm not sure how you can think a black foot and ankle isn't serious Lilley?! Smoking restricts circulation, ask @Doreensfree about that. My mom also had feet issues from poor circulation caused by quitting. So your condition should not be taken lightly. Please go get it checked out.

Glad you're ready to quit. Stick close and use us for all the support you need 🤗

It's not always a Smokers Lungs that get damaged..

I can grow a pair

Here you go Lilly.  These little guys got me through my quit.  Little did I know that during my quit, I did grow a pair of balls.  You will find that at the end of your journey, you are much different than when you started.  You will become a stronger, confident person that is in control of your life.

Do yourself a favor Ray, go ahead and quit.

 

I made the mistake of procrastinating before quitting.  I called it "planning", but in reality is was me finding excuses to keep feeding my addiction.

 

Looking back, the procrastination period was more of a pain in the ass than the actual quit.  The quit was a challenge, but I was making progress everyday.  During the procrastination period, I was just spinning my wheels and finding ways to get myself all wound up.

 

I call it the Tom Petty rule: The waiting is the hardest part...

Hi Ray ....

One of my favourite slogans...

Take Smoking off the Table No Matter What .......

My addict brain ...clicked to this ....

No excuses to smoke ...if the world was falling around me ...don't smoke ...

There isn't one reason why you should keep on killing yourself slowly ...and being fooled your enjoying it ....

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
