Give and get support around quitting
HI ALl,
So I quit for 5 days never thought I could even do that but did. Now I am reading again the info here and that book everybody told me to get by Allen Carr which seems to helping alot. I set up a new quit date but had an excuse not to do it. I'm trying again this week not saying when because when I do it I'll do it. I will come for support as this is a great place to get it. Thank you all for all your advice whether you know you gave it or not. I never had any idea what I was up against until I came on this site. Good and bad really. Some of the advice makes me feel confident and others scare me. Try try again that's all I can do. And tomorrow I will finish that book and hopefully be strong enough to do it!
Swanbird dont ever quit trying to quit. It is very hard, I cant tell you how many times Wayne and I tried. We finally realized the way its done is one day at a time, and at times it was one minute at a time. Great job on reaching out staying connected to a place that will help you quit.
So happy to hear you are doing your reading and prep work. It WILL make a huge difference in your success at this. I recommend you just set a date, probably within the next few days. Then - get rid of all cigarettes in your possession and just take the leap! We ALL did just that - and the site is littered with successful years long quits. You CAN add yours to them - but not if you don't first make that commitment and DO it!
Let us know if you have questions or need support!

Welcome to the Ex. I'm glad to here you've been reading information on site.Understanding this addiction made such a difference for me this time. Plan on what you're going to do instead of smoking--I know I had to keep busy. Let's us know when you pick the date so we can celebrate with you.
