Hey everyone, so far I'm 11 days quit. Using the patch and this is not my first time on this Merry-go-Round. I think that mostly things are decent right now. The irritability is a bit of a downer. Kinda want to hole up in my house ALONE, which is a problem since I have 2 kids, a dog, and a husband who smokes. Just keep reminding myself that this too shall pass. I've been sucessful for up to 9 months on several occassions and my goal is to make it to one year, broken down into one month at a time. I can't look at "Forever" it overwhelms me - although that is my true hope.
I have so many reasons to stay quit - I just can't listen to that self-destructive voice in my head when I'm out with friends or angry. Those have always been my downfall in the past. It's a little ironic but I've been hiding my smoking for years from certain people, there is shame for me smoking. Looking for some supportive voices and practical advice on here. Non-smokers don't get how freaking hard it is to quit and current smokers are not going to be my chosen source of support at the moment - I can see some people on here are still smoking but if I don't have to smell you I'm good with whatever support you want to offer 🙂 Hoping to find some like minded people to journey through with!
