Quit day today!

Today is the day! Anyone else quitting today? I haven't decided if I'm gonna run up and get some lozenges. Thinking cold turkey is best. No more expense.

I could not agree more! Writing saved me during the first few weeks of my quit when I had to stop wearing the patch. Great advice!

Today is my quit day as well! So far so good, other than feeling jittery and my vision seems weird....

Me and my husband have a prescription and today was our cut off day. I am trying really hard not to use any nicotine products but have some just in case. After all they are a better alternative. Excited and nervous to start this journey, but looks like I may have found a great support site!

How's it going? Today is my hardest day. I'm not going to smoke no matter what. I'm starting to cough more. I guess cleaning out my lungs. How are you?

Yesterday was my quit day too! How'd it go for you? I got through my cravings fine, but found that I was super scatterbrained. Having a successful Day 2 now. Let's do this! Feel free to reach out if you want to talk about where we're all at in our quit.

Welcome to EX.  pastedImage_1.png

Congratulations on day one and making the decision to quit smoking. You have come to the right place for a new day and a rebirth. This is all about you and what you are willing to do to be smoke free. Quitting smoking requires hard work.  It can be challenging at times but you will learn that it is doable if you adhere to NOPE not one puff ever no matter what. 

Start first, by educating yourself about nicotine addiction.  Education is the key to a successful quit.

Read: Freedom from Nicotine My Journey Home and Nicotine Addiction 101         Here are the links: http://whyquit.com/whyquit/LinksAAddiction.html   and http://whyquit.com/ffn/

I also encourage you to read. Allen Carr’s book, “Easy Easier Way to Quit Smoking”.       

The link is here:  http://media.wix.com/ugd/74fa87_2010cc5496521431188f905b7234a829.pdf

 Go to http://www.becomeanex.org/how-to-quit-smoking.php#thl and get started. 

We will support you. You are on your journey to freedom
