Well, after today, 1 day until quit date.
This being the last time I will ever quit makes it quite exciting, I must admit.
I won’t be worried about how I am going to get some cigarettes and hide them and not let anyone know I am smoking them. No cheating this time. . That is a lot of stress on a quitter! Figuring out how to cheat.
My quit date is actually my youngest son’s birthday. August 14 he will be 35. We will be at his apt cooking burgers by the pool. You’re not allowed to smoke there so that will be convenient. I’ve never been bothered being somewhere I couldn’t smoke, but when I left, I was going to have one as soon as I got in the car, that’s for sure!!!!
Having this community and all the great tips, emails, support, everything! Seems to make this seem like an easier task than ever before I have told so many people about you all and about BecomeAnEX. I am proud to be part of this community and am going to need your help so much!!!
Do I sound so brave? I’m really not. I’m quite scared! I already feel like I’m losing a 40 year old friendship. How will I manage without it? What’s it going to be like? I have so many anxious questions.
I have patches, lozenges, suckers, straws, a list of things to read about quitting, post it notes with encouraging thoughts, a very supportive family and friends I am the ONLY one in all my family and friends that smoke. All the other smokers have died. From smoking related diseases. I don’t want to be next I have COPD that is very well controlled with Anoro. Never have been on oxygen. I don’t have to see my lung dr for a year unless I need her sooner. I have type 2 diabetes that is well controlled. Been going to the gym 3 times a week since 6/8/21. I feel like when I quit, I am going to feel so good! Maybe my health will improve more since smoking makes everything worse.
talk to you all soon!
❤️Sharon❤️
