I started this as a comment on another blog, but decided to copy it here so maybe more people will see it and answer my plea for help this week! Here goes:
I'm really scared actually to stop. I was counting on walking to help with the heebie-jeebies, but I still haven't recovered enough from a back injury on Memorial Weekend to get out and pace.
I had a good quit going in 2015 and quit cold turkey that time. I didn't have support for my quit then, so of course, took that one puff I swore I wouldn't when I got too tired, too hungry and too angry.
Now, I'm just getting really really really weary of "trying" to quit, and just want it over! Over.
I know the first 24 hours are the roughest for me, and once I get that finished, then the cravings seem more manageable. What my last quit was missing was support. I live alone. None of my friends are smokers or EX smokers.
I think this week is IT. I have no appointments or any distractions ahead to prevent me from just focusing on my one task, job, objective this week.
Stop smoking.
So, here I am, hoping this community will be watching my posts this week as I will be coming here all the time for support when I think I just can't do it.
