The Day

My quit day is Oct 8th, 2019. Just reading these posts make me want to smoke. My day is almost here and I have to do this. I must do this. My life means a lot to me. God is not finished with me yet. I don't have anything great to say and I don't know how to help anyone because I can't help myself. I have health issue's and I need to quit now. I need to quit for those who love me and for those whom I could be helping If I did not smoke. I want to be a leader and not a follower.

I wish this country would just ban cigarettes. Or maybe even charge $25.00 a pack. I bet that would stop a lot of us and use that money to pay for health care. I am getting ready for Quit day, like a soldier at war. Except the war is with me.

Hope you stuck with your quit day.  If you did how are you doing?  There is a lot of support here and information you can use.  Make your plan and work it.    We've all been where you are at.  I smoked and read a lot of blogs on this site while I made my quit plan and quit day.  Truly it will be worth it in the end.  And be sure to read bout the actual addiction part of smoking/nicotine.  That makes a big difference being armed with that knowledge.

Big congrats on your 1st day smoke free.   Keeping busy really helped me a lot.  And, yes you can help others by sharing your journey and support to other new quitters.  Try not to look at it as a war--it's a journey with challenges that you can overcome.      That's what we're all about.  If you need help, just reach out.  

Remind yourself " I don't do that anymore"
