It's here!

When I get up in the morning, I will be a non smoker. Started when I was 18; I'm now 75. Makes me sick thinking of it. I have quit about 37 times, but it never lasted. Now, it has to. Gonna need lots of encouragement from everyone, please. Thanks, BB

I'm up this morning and haven't had a cigarette yet!  You can do it too!  I quit last year for two weeks, but my husband kept smoking so I started again....ugh!  I remember how BAD it smelled after being smoke free for  just a couple of days!  You can do it...after 3 days, the cravings will pass 😉

Last Feb. I quit for two monthes and then my husband started back and so did I. As much as I loved my cigarettes, I couldn't stand the way my hand smelt after holding that cigarette. I am now on day two and I have no intentions of going back. I have so many reasons to quit, and I know I can do it. You can do it. We all can do it. Stay strong!

I am just about through day one of non smoking. The rough times seem to be when I am not actively doing something. The very worst craving was after supper. I got thru it, and I will get thru triggers from now on.  Is there something crunchy but not sweet to nibble on? Can't have salt.  Thanks for the nice responses. I really appreciate this .  BB

You can chew on celery sticks (might also help clean your teeth ; -)

You can do it!
