You're probably getting tired of hearing me say I'm ready to quit. My roommate says he certainly is. I feel like I want to quit, but for the first time I really not sure I can. I gave my cigarettes to my roommate yesterday and said I wasn't going to ask for them. I was SO sure I was done. I've been smoking too much and feeling like crap. About an hour after my last cigarette I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin. I kept starting to ask where they were and then holding myself back. I really don't want to smoke, but I'm addicted to them. I caved. For those first few puffs there was such a feeling of relief. Then, just disappointment in myself. I've read a lot about medications and tried them before. I am a recovering drug addict too and feel like lowering doses of nicotine just keep the withdrawal going. So I want to quit cold turkey. I know a lot of addicts who have done it and they say it's the only way they could. I was going to set my quit date for tomorrow, but I'm starting back at college so the little form reccommended September. I've started tracking my cigarettes for today and will continue to do so. I plan to go through the readings and videos again and really prepare this time. Any other suggestions? I'm honestly scared that I'm too addicted to quit. Is that possible?
