Give and get support around quitting
I am just needing a little support today. I am on day 4 of quitting and feel today has been the hardest day so far. I have smoked for 35 yrs and I feel particularly empty today. I really want this more than anything. I guess I just need some reassurance that I will be happy and comfortable in my own skin again. My husband and my oldest daughter smoke and are not ready to quit. I can not use them as an excuse to slip...but it makes it much harder. Thanks, Cat52
Thanks for the encouragement and the book recommendation. Reading is something that distracts me from smoking so I am going to look into getting that book. It also helps to know that you, like me, had smoked for a very long time. Sometimes my mind tries to rationalize smoking by me thinking that "It has been too long...I will never be able to stick with it and I have probably already damaged myself too much to make any difference in my health." I appreciate your encouragement and look forward to continuing on this journey with you.
