May 17, 201511 yr Toughest thing about Quitting? Committing. Once you do that - it gets easier every day. C'mon. Commit. What's the worst thing that could happen?
May 17, 201511 yr Knowledge is power- find out what nicotine really is doing in your body- Then the choice is 10 times easier - RC
May 17, 201511 yr I simply think to myself, if an addiction can take over my body, what kind of man am I ? That's not the example that I want to pass on my future family. I can do it!
May 17, 201511 yr Toughest thing about Quitting? Committing. Once you do that - it gets easier every day. C'mon. Commit. What's the worst thing that could happen? I agree, thinking about quitting made me more miserable and anxious than actually quitting!
May 17, 201511 yr One step at at a time, it's so doable but you have to take the first step we will walk with you through the rest
May 17, 201511 yr Everything you believed and feared about quitting were all lies. You have been brainwashed. Education + commitment to NOPE (not one puff ever) every day + support = success. Everyone is capable of a successful quit. You just have to want it. Make that commitment no matter what
May 17, 201511 yr It is such a relief not to smoke anymore, to be beyond the beginning stages, to be sucessful. I knew I could quit forever once I quit for one day.
May 29, 201511 yr I never saw this till today BAT, I like it. To start a quit means throwing the shit sticks away and never smoking another one. It's called breaking the cycle of addiction. Last cigarette is the last link in the chain to the next one, and the rest of them. Break the link, you break the chain, you kill the addiction. Keeping that quit, that's the rest of the story, the rest of the walk. Might as well plan on walking for the rest of your life Enjoy the view, it's lovely! :)
May 30, 201511 yr Well heck yeah,, I always like your "writings" wisdom in print,, and a great inspiration,,, I sure do like life "smoke free" and you helped me,, no doubt about it ! Thank you Markus,,
May 30, 201511 yr mfic, really is nice to see your 4 months. As good as 4 years or 40 years, it's quit. If we can give someone an ally oops for their slam dunk quit, it's a beautiful thing. Pay it forward as you can helps cement your quit...always someone watching the quit and thinking "I can do that". And they can...like BAT says...the whole QT is there.
May 31, 201511 yr This thread has really helped me today. I had four days and slipped last night. I guess I am having a problem with commitment despite saying that I want it more than anything but something is blocking me. I know I'm impulsive, I know I'm an addict (in recovery for alcoholism and bulimia) so I don't know what's holding me back. I'm back on the train again today and will keep posting daily to hold myself accountable. I appreciate you all for being here and being supportive and helpful and for leading the way.
