New Quitters Check In!

[Roller831]

Hi!  I noticed there are several new quitters this week so I thought we could support you all in one place and you could each get to know your fellow quitters and support one another.

Are you new in your quit?  Did you choose to quit just before the holidays or did you quit on 1/1/2018?  Are you less than 30 days into your quit?

Let everyone know how you are doing!  You can check in here to support each other and get support from the /blogs/Giulia-blog/2017/06/18/elders-list-ao-december-7-2016?sr=search&searchId=37122da5-d471-4574-9...‌ or those who have some DOF (days of freedom) behind them!

Share the victories and the struggles.  You never know how it may touch someone.

Hello - I am new here as of today but my quit date was 2-10-2018!!! I am so proud to say I have 19 days today

I quit one other time for a little over a year and thought I could have just one.... BIG MISTAKE!

It took me several more years to decide to quit again so I know what I am up against and I know how cunning and deceiving ol' Mr. Nick-O-Teen can be!!! Looking for constant reminders and encouragement to keep going, one day at a time!!!

Welcome to EX duffsherrie  this is a great place for eduaction and support. Yes Mr. Nick demon dude can be very decieving. Be alert and aware of him. Congratulations on day 19 of freedom. Good for you.

Congratulations, duffsherrie‌! You're doing great!

Kudos on the 19 days sherrie!  You SHOULD be proud of yourself!  A lot of us made that "one puff" mistake  THE EX ONE PUFF FILES‌  and had to learn the hard way.  But it sounds like you're back on the right track now.  Best way to get encouragement is to put up a blog.  If you need help with that, give a holler.  Glad you've joined us. Read everything you can get your eyeballs on.  Best of EX is a good place to begin.  Welcome.  duffsherrie

I'm just checking in. Day 3 is going. Easier that day 2, not quite as easy as day 1. Many urges, but I'm coping. I decided against the gum and got the lozenges. I might use 3-4 a day (4 mg), but I tend to end up scooping them out of mouth long before they've dissolved. It's so early in my quit, but I'm allowing myself to be proud today. Not complacent, just proud. I'm doing this. But, guess what's around the bend? The weekend. This is my first weekend since the quit, and I admit to being a little worried about it. Any tips?  And how is everyone else doing?? -- Dawn

Bdwallhau‌  Glad to hear Day 3 was easier than Day 2!  Keep stacking up those days and make sure you reach out for help here BEFORE you do anything to jeopardize your 3DOF!  You should be proud!

Tips for the weekend - hopefully you have some good weather and you can get out in the FRESH air!  Go places that do not allow smoking!  Stay busy!  Drink lots of water!  Keep your Quit Kit close by and use it.  Of course, drop by here if you need anything and someone will be around to help!
