First Day Of My Journey

[BassHead138]

Today is the first day of my quit. I have been reading a lot of helpful information on this blog leading up to today, so I figured this is as good a time as any to actually create a profile and settle in. After smoking for the past 20+ years, I have attempted to quit several times unsuccessfully, but I truly feel different about this one. I am much more prepared and educated this time around. Trying to stay focused in the present instead of looking too far ahead and being overwhelmed; just stacking one day at a time.

Welcome and its refreshing to hear you have taken the time to learn about the addiction. I think quits go much better with knowledge

Welcome to EX.  The fact that you've been preparing AND JOINED US shows you are determined to make this work.

Please come back often (daily).  It will strengthen your resolve and give you a place to vent, whine, complain, celebrate and make friends.

You can do this you know.  We all did.  We're here for you.

Blessings

That's how it's done … one day at a time in the beginning until it becomes one week, one month, etc.  Best Wishes!

On day 2 of my quit.  It is not easy but we got this.

[BassHead138]

Definitely not easy, but doable. This is now day 3 for me. It has been a little tougher than the first two so far, but I'm digging in and getting through it.

Keep going Basshead! You got this!
