Elle047's Status Update on 11/18/2017

I am on day 4 of not smoking. I have stopped smoking more times than I can count. I need this to be the last time. I have never joined a support group so I’m hoping this is helpful in my journey to freedom. I’m sick of going through this. Addiction is real and it lies.

Congratulations on four days of freedom.  I you hang around you will learn that a forever quit is doable.  Support is a plus. You have come to the right place for a new day and a rebirth. The idea is to start at the beginning by making a commitment that no matter what happens or goes on in your life that you will not use it as an EXcuse to smoke.  With that philosophy you will have success on this journey. 

No it is not easy but it is doable by using that principle and educating yourself about nicotine addiction.   If you hang around you will see that quitting is doable, because many of us have.  Look forward a new way of life that does not include smoking.  It is all up to you and what you are willing to do to be smoke free.

Quitting smoking requires hard work and determination not to give up.   It can be challenging at times but you will learn that it is doable if you adhere to NOPE not one puff ever no matter what. 

Start first, by educating yourself about nicotine addiction because education is the key to a successful quit.

I also encourage you to read. Allen Carr’s book, “Easy Easier Way to Quit Smoking”.
