Joining group to look for support, ideas and sharing information. Today is day 2 for me and hope to remember to check this page daily.
I started smoking when I was in 7th grade and have been a moderate smoker for probably 40 years. I've quite 1/2 a dozen times and each time hope this will be my last. With this support group, the patch, and phone app, I am hoping to finally quit for good. I always like to end my work week with a few drinks at the local bar so that'll be a tough one.
My husband had back surgery on January 13th so we won't be visiting our local watering hole for the next couple weeks and am thinking this is a great time to quit. He's never smoked anything in his life so he doesn't understand the addiction cycle we go through. I know I can do this, but have to convince myself that this is a permanent change. You see, I liked smoking and socializing around a cigarette. I simply have to change my lifestyle and pray that I don't get fat along the way. Both cigarettes and weight have been a constant struggle for me. I guess Ineed to simply "get over it", right??
We are all on a journey and I would be happy to travel with you all!
