So, I'm sad to say I relapsed shortly before my birthday this year with over 200 days of smoberiety, but I am happy to say that I got back on the wagon for my 33rd birthday yesterday and this time I have decided to face the ultimate challenge - COLD TURKEY.
I hate the sticky residue the patches leave, I hate the way my body reacts to the drugs and I seriously would rather suffer for 3 or so days than deal with the side effects of the NRT.
I had already let my friends know that after my birthday I was going to have to cut down on my social outings, so this is the perfect time to set myself up with the least amount of temptation. I'm studying to be a personal trainer so the next few months I will be hitting the books and staying strong on this committment that not only affects my health but my career.
I've been reading Allen Carr's book again and of course I am back here, where so many people went above and beyond to support me on my last quit. Can't wait to get to know all the new people and get back to chatting with my old EX-pals!
