The first day I quit was the longest of my life. I ate frozen Hershey Kisses until I was ready to throw up and couldn't eat even one more. It was only 2:00 PM! THAT was my plan, so I didn't have the foggiest idea what I was going to do.
Yet Here I Am - Eight Years Quit
My daughter brought me her iPad and Angry Birds. It frustrated me to no end. But - I kept at it, because I didn't have a better idea!
Yet Here I Am - Eight Years Quit
I played Angry Birds 14 hours a day for at least that first week, and never really got any better at it
Yet Here I Am - Eight Years Quit
I didn't find The Ex, Allen Carr and this wonderful support until the fourth day of my quit.
Yet Here I Am - Eight Years Quit
I made the decision that I was not going to smoke again NO MATTER WHAT. I never argued with myself about it. I honored that decision that first day and every day going forward.
I read everything recommended here, followed the advice given, and took it one day (sometimes an hour or 15 minutes) at a time. I asked questions when I had them, and for support when I needed it.
AND HERE I AM, EIGHT YEARS QUIT!
Take heart if you are just starting out. You are no different; your challenge no greater that mine. You CAN do this, one day at a time!
Happy
July 4th!
