Give and get support around quitting
It has begun. I am a nonsmoker. Carr says "yippeeee, I'm a nonsmoker." I will say that over and over today. I will remember there is no reason to smoke, none. I will remember the reasons not to smoke versus the reasons I thought I had for smoking. I will take this cold turkey and run with it. I will also continue to read Carr's book for the third time. I think it's the most important tool I have at the moment, not discounting my own decision. I will remain positive. I know there may come a moment, an hour, a day, a week, or whatever when I will want to smoke, and I will come here and scream instead.
I have no fear. I have little doubt and am working to erase that from my head. Why wait till October 1 when today is as good a day as any?
I'm a frickin quitter. Take that, tobacco industry!

Congratulations DonnaMarie! Check in often and keep this site close! Remember to take the Daily Pledge! You've got this!
I like your spirit! Great attitude! Yay! No more nicotine!
You sound much like myself, and I am so happy for you that you have made the
positive decision to cut smoking out of your life! My favorite chapter in Allen Carr's
book was called The Advantages of Being a Smoker! There are none! Just as it states!
Be ready for those withdrawals, and know how you are going to cope through them!
Welcome to EX!
Sandy
It is all about the attitude and boy have YOU GOT THIS!!!
