Hi Sherilyn! Thanks for your hand. I pledge today to not vape or smoke, even with friends! I’ve thrown away the last reminders of tobacco and am ready for September. I extend my hand to the next in line!

Hannah, Way to go! Congrats on the first day of your quit!  Stay close to this group for support and know that YOU are STRONG and YOU can do this.  I never thought that I would be successful at this quit but here I am doing this!  If I can do this, so can you!  Believe in yourself and remember all the reasons why you quit. Remind yourself of these reasons!  You aren't depriving yourself of smoking but instead you're making a confident choice to get rid of those death sticks and open yourself up to a new life without all the anxiety of smoking!  Visualize a new you that isn't anxious about quitting but calm knowing you've made a really good decision for yourself.   Quitting doesn't have to be agony but just a new way of doing things.  It gets so much better,  I don't even hsve cravings anymore.   It was a habit so when I reach for something I try to distract myself immediately.   The cravings do go away and you'll be so proud of yourself for quitting.  Keep on and I wish you all the luck in the world!  Oh yes...there are two books from Amazon that have made a difference in my quit!  Allen Carr's book about quitting smoking and the other book is:  The Smoking Cure, How to Quit Smoking Without Feeling Like Shit by Caroline Cranshaw (Hypnotist and Addiction Specialist). These two books are my go-to every day and are dog-earred as well.  Anytime that I have even an iota of doubt or need motivation, I turn to these two books and of course, this group here.  From Sherilyn

Sorry for such a long response, just feeling prolific today!

Have an awesome weekend to all my fellow Ex-ers!  We can do this!
