Here I go..

[Yippy]

Today is my first quit day.  Been reading the forums since yesterday and it is helpful.  I have tried several times in the past and have no excuse to go back this time.  Looking forward to:  Not having to worry about a place or time to secretly have a smoke, feeling better, smelling better and looking better.   NOPE  it is  .

Welcome Yippy. The reasons you mentioned are all great (and there's countless more). As Doreen said.....go to the Daily Nope Pledge and commit to not smoking just for that one day.  It really gives you a sense that you're in this with many other people.  It also gives you a feeling of accountability.....you don't want to let yourself (and your peers) down.

 

Glad to have you aboard.  You can do this!

Welcome, Yippy!  Looking forward to following your success story here on the Train.  Congratulations on your quit.  It's the very best thing you can do for yourself!

Thanks everyone for the support.   Couple triggers today..dental appointment and dropped an egg onto the floor.   LOL ..quirky when you think about it.  Anyhow..still hanging in there.  I am also a long time smoker.  Started as a teen ..I am 54 now.  So all I can say is "Yippy!! and its about friggen time I did this!"  Now I hope I can hang onto my sanity..and Im sure my hubby is hoping I can too

Buckle up and stay strong

 

You should hook up with Berkshiredrifter for a "quit buddy"  Accountability is another tool.

 

Keep on keepin on.
