Welcome Marisol! (Glad you gave your name so I don't have to call you Grotesque) That's great you want to quit and it'll be a decision you won't ever regret!  Have you set a date yet?  What about using aids or going cold turkey?  Having a plan in place will certainly help you. 

 

There's lots of support/videos/threads on this site that will help you and of course people here can give advice and support you. You're making the right decision and you can do this!

Education was my personal ticket to freedom from smoking.

 

I encourage you to do your homework.  Study up on nicotine & addiction (& Big Tobacco) as if you are studying for a test.  Find the factual things that you can no longer ignore or stomach that collectively sends you over the cliff into your own personal “No Way, No More Smoking Land”.  Work to change what smoking means to you.

 

See smoking for what it really is.  It is control over our time, our focus, our money . . . our life.  Even our activities & who we hung out with was influenced by our smoking.  Get yourself free from the smoke screen & do whatever it takes for you to walk away from it … forever.  Freedom from active nicotine addiction is so awesome!!!

 

I hope you get free of the chain of addiction sooner rather than later.  Best Wishes.

Hi @Grotesque (Marisol)! Quitting IS life changing and that's for the better. Transitioning from smoker to non-smoker makes clear how we really should be living our lives rather than being a slave to nicotine day in & day out. It's hard to see that before quitting; I know because I was where you are a little over 9 years ago. Life becomes much clearer once you've quit. 

 

Quitting's not easy for any of us but it IS possible and being around others who've quit makes things so much better ... believe me!

 

Hope you set a date and stick around so we can support you though your journey   As you contemplate quitting, do read some articles scattered around the dite. Watch some of the quit smoking videos in the video section. That may help to precondition your mind toward quitting. You have nothing to lose but an extremely harmful & expensive addiction!
