Hello. My name is trish. I’m 53 and I’m going to attempt to stop smoking after 30 years.. very nervous about this.

Hi Trish. Welcome to Ex. Nervous is normal, but you can do this. Stick around Ex--read, learn, blog comment. Make a plan that you can refer to--and of course quitting is done one day at a time. Congratulations on your decision. 🙂

It’s normal to feel nervous, anxious, afraid, and uncertain. None of those things spells failure. What is your plan and why do you want to quit? Inquiring minds want to know and help!

Well i have had enough being chained to this addiction.. i have 3 new grand babies and i want to live and watch them grow up. I want to be healthy enough to help my kids do anything they need oh and i want to smell good again

[Trish1967]

My plan is go get the patches and begin this difficult time..

Trish - you are already ahead of the game because you know WHY you want it, and you have a PLAN for how to get there, and you EXPECT that it may be difficult. And, smelling good again and being able to smell good again (so you can smell those babies' bottoms) are other good reasons for breaking the chain. YOU HAVE DEFINITELY GOT THIS!!! And, we will have your back because we all know what this is all about. You've come to the right place. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/ might be a helpful read if you haven't seen it yet.

Welcome to the Ex and congrats on your decision to quit.  As you prepare for your quit date, educate yourself about nicotine addiction and create a quit plan.  My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX   Knowledge and preparation made all the difference for me this time.  I smoked for 50 years and I am  about to celebrate 2 years.  Nervous is normal.  Smoking is a part of everything we do.  If you approach it one day at a time, it will help to elevate any fears.  You can do it!   We're here for you.  Just reach out.
