Give and get support around quitting
I want a cigarette so bad. This is horrible. Can someone help me?
Congrats on 2 days!! I am on day 3. I am struggling a bit but want to stay quit. You can do this! I am def using the straw and deep breathing and also find it helpful to be mindful of why I am doing this. I want to be healthy and rejoice in not having to have the crutch although I still want to pick it up. This is a journey and I am glad to be on it with you.
Focus us on the solution not the problem

Thanks and congrats to you as well. I also use the straw. Today I went outside on my patio like I normally do with my dog and stated blowing through my straw. I couldn't believe how much better I felt. It was like my mind thought I was smoking so it was happy. Wow! The insanity of smoking....
Jackie posted our list of things to do instead of smoking..........try them. Mostly, it is just taking it one day, one hour, one minute at a time. TIME really will save you from addiction. the further you get away from that last cigarette the easier it gets.......I promise. Stay close to the site and "talk" to us. The support here is incredible as you have seen. Stay Strong.
Thanks, Sootie! I like what you said. One day, one hour, one minute at a time!
cfbays, hope you are doing better. I was having a bit of a rough afternoon so jumped on the puter and started reading. Saw your request for help and I read all the wonderful responses you received. You shared your support 🙂 thanks I needed that 🙂 Hang Tough!!

Thanks, pmt...I don't want to do this by myself. I can't.
I know it's hard, but I know that every day I don't smoke, I might be adding some extra joy to my life. Today is day 5 and a Bad Urge day. I know I am going to ride it out. I'm in a physical therapy facility to repair a fractured ankle. I spent most of the day, looking at the beautiful wing span of birds. I'm glad to be around.
With you in the struggle
