My husband and I are trying to quit smoking. We made it our new years resolution. Yesterday we did good until the evening. We both ended up smoking one. This morning was hard on me because I alway have coffee and and smoke. I had something stressful happen and i went and smoked. Then out of habit and addiction about an hour and a half later i went and smoked one again. It made me feel like crap. This morning i was very angry for no reason. This is something i am going to have to work on to get on with my life without smoking! I have never had a plan or anything like this site has given me.. I have made my quit date for tomorrow and I have been reading about what is going to happen. I am just hoping I can manage my moods long enough to quit. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm new to the site but I've quit numerous times and here is what I know:

If you decide one day that you are just quiting without a plan it won't be sucessful. You have to have a strategy and a plan. Someone here recomended quitsmokingonline.com. I've read through it and lots of other sites like it and have found very useful info. The other thing I would recomend is chantix. It's not for everyone but for me it makes quiting so much easier. And the last thing is you have to vow to never ever let your guard down. Your brain will trick you into just one because one is harmless. That is wrong!!! When you put nicoteine in your system you have to start all over again. Remember every day gets easier. You can do it!

I would get rid of the smokes!  If you both are quitting no need to have any in the house!  The first few days are tough, so easier for me at least not to have the temptation!

Best of luck!

Prep work is so important.... I read lots of blogs here, I read at  http://quitsmokingonline.com and Allen Carr's book - The Easy Way to Stop Smoking - that changed the way I looked at smoking.Congrats on your decision to quit!! Stick around!
