Give and get support around quitting
Hi Everyone... Tomorrow, August 6 is my quit date... I say that in sort of an Eeyore voice because I hate to admit the amount of times I have tried and failed. I know that mental attitude is a big part of the quit, but I feel angry, embarrassed and somewhat hopeless that I can do it... YET, I want it so badly. Every night I lay my head down I tell myself TODAY is that last day, yet the cycle continues.
I start a new job in 3 weeks. One I wont be able to do physically if I keep on smoking. Of course I know the other reasons I want to quit, its's just the stupid awful addiction that creeps in and keeps me hostage. I don't want to be a slave to anything anymore, especially something as downright dirty as smoking.
I need help though. Friends to stay accountable too, especially for the first WEEK. That's usually where I am failing.. It seems like when I quit, the anxiety sets in and derails me... I hope you'll take me in
I have been reading these posts for so long and am so inspired by how nice everyone is, and how understanding ❤️
Tomorrow it is on!
I'm new here too, and my quit date is the same as yours. 🙂
How are you coming along? I already made an unwise decision, but I get up, dust off, and keep going. Why stop with one setback?
I try to be positive. I had a few ppl on here so far to pull me down a little and make me feel stupid, but I won't judge all because of one. 🙂
Maybe we can be quitting buddies? If you want. 🙂
