Today is my first time on here. My quit day is tomorrow. I have my patches and will remove all things related. I attempted last week and had 3 days under my belt but became weak and bought a pack... I have to do it! I need to do it! I work in health care and hide the fact that I smoke... I think they know but they don't ask and I don't tell! Fabreeze is what I use to mask the smell. Plus I remove my work top and put on a jacket, pull my hair up... all just to chain smoke at lunch. I'm embarrassed and ashamed to admit this but this soon will end because I'm going to beat this!!!!

Congratulations on making the decision to quit smoking and welcome to EX. You have come to the right place. Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things we have to do but it is doable It will test your emotions to the fullest. The main thing is to prepare for those times by educating yourself on nicotine addiction and ways to distract. Find things that will occupy your time and mind. You will find that smoking took a lot of it. It is a joy to be able to be smoke-free. Embrace it. Don't fight it. Learn to breathe through the crisis. Quitting smoking is about deprogramming the brain that you do not have to smoke. Here is a simple one to start, when the urge hits tell yourself that you "don't do that anymore". Stay close, read study blog ask questions. Here is some reading to help you get started. Go to My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX click on the tabs and read and watch the videos. Also, check out www.whyquit.com and read Nicotine 101 and My Journey to Freedom Home. The best is yet to come. Hang tough, stay close. Enjoy your new life.
