For the several days that I could not access the site, I had the negative thoughts about quitting...wondering if maybe this was not the right time....(job change happening in my life), etc.
I feel the love on this web site. I feel the sincere desire of the members to help us get this quitting thing down. I find the blogs as helpful direction, and I need the reading materials that are often shared.
I am so glad to be back.
My quit date is tomorrow, but I will be finishing my last cigarette some time today.
It has been very helpful to me to understand tha I am an addict.
It has been helpful to understand the time frames (when nicotine leaves the body - learning about NML, and hearing about the creeping up urges). I look forward to re-learning my life without cigarettes.
I must admit I am scared, but I know that I am not "giving up" something but rather accepting a new way of life.
I am excited too.
I gently ask that the community have patience with me - and I will try to word any rants or raves as politely as possible.
