quit smoking day 1

[angel62]

i have tried 15 times last year to quit. when i woke up this morning i threw the ashtray and cigerettes and lighter in the trash and took it out side to the dumpster.
i want to be smoke free for good this time. so mad at myself i would have had one year as a non smoker. i know that i can do this. i want to live longer for me. i know i can beat this once and for all i will never give up. been smoke free for almost 21 hours. i drink alot of water and try to keep busy at work. i know i sound like a broken record but truly mean it this time. haven't smoked for 21 hours

21 Hours is great!  Thats a lot of cigarettes and you have saved money already by not smoking!  Keep the positive attitude up. You can do it! Hugs

Yes you can do it Angel. It's a promise to yourself and a commitment to that promise. No matter what happens, smoking is no longer an option. If you can make that decision and a commitment to it then the rest is easy. Anytime the urge hits, remind yourself that smoking is not an option and move on to plan B what ever that might be.

You can do this, you are doing this, keep moving forward. It does get better but only if you do not smoke.

You and I both have quit so many darn times, it's impossible to count but we can do this. Take it hour by hour, you know deep down inside you can do it.

You can do this.  Have you done any reading about addiction?  Here is a page with some links.

I know you are not a new member, but I don't know how much you prepared before for your quit.
