Give and get support around quitting
scared as heck, but ready! pray, cross yer fingers, knock on wood, think hasppy thought, whatever you do! gonna need all of it...
See you on the other side!
Hey again. This is day 2 for you, isn't it? How's it going? We have a saying around here, "take what you need and leave the rest." Hope you are doing just that. If there's anything here that helps - take it! Ignore the rest. Thought I'd share this from my blog. Hope it's helpful. at 3 months: what's working for me.
You are encouraged to be as honest as you can and need to be here. In fact it's one of the most helpful things about this site is coming here to vent. I don't think that statement was meant to be as harsh as it sounded. It's just many people that relapse with their quits do it with excuses and there really is no excuse. I have been a chronic relapser so I say this with love.

Hope you are doing better tonight, thinking about you and sending you a cyber hug!
I hope you had a better day today PirateQueen , keep your mind as well as your hands occupied and keep stacking up your precious smoke free days....
Good Morning! We're still here and cheering you on!
Holler with any concerns or questions or just to vent!
Woa - I just got back to your post here and see you took my comment as a total negative and a reason not to post any more. Good grief. All I said was: There are no excuses allowed with this commitment. It's all or nothing and sleeping is a great way to get through cravings. Based on my experience I was hearing possible excuses. Mea culpa if I was wrong. And yes of course we're allowed to discuss challenges and nobody is 150% sure of their quit in the early stages. Sorry if I gave you a different impression. We can be wrong in our interpretations here. Ad if I was, I apologize.
I believe in honesty too. I gave you my honest "take." It may have been off the mark and it may have been wrong. But please don't stop posting here because of something I said. Please don't. I'm more than willing to say I made a wrong call. One of things we say here is "take what you like and leave the rest." Leave mine if it didn't help, but don't leave the rest of the best. OK?
I am very proud of you day 2 for me we can do it together. Helen.
