Give and get support around quitting
My quit day is Oct 8th, 2019. Just reading these posts make me want to smoke. My day is almost here and I have to do this. I must do this. My life means a lot to me. God is not finished with me yet. I don't have anything great to say and I don't know how to help anyone because I can't help myself. I have health issue's and I need to quit now. I need to quit for those who love me and for those whom I could be helping If I did not smoke. I want to be a leader and not a follower.
I wish this country would just ban cigarettes. Or maybe even charge $25.00 a pack. I bet that would stop a lot of us and use that money to pay for health care. I am getting ready for Quit day, like a soldier at war. Except the war is with me.
Hope you stuck with your quit day. If you did how are you doing? There is a lot of support here and information you can use. Make your plan and work it. We've all been where you are at. I smoked and read a lot of blogs on this site while I made my quit plan and quit day. Truly it will be worth it in the end. And be sure to read bout the actual addiction part of smoking/nicotine. That makes a big difference being armed with that knowledge.

I started last night at 10 pm. I have just been keeping myself busy. I am working right now. Thank you for the support!!!
Big congrats on your 1st day smoke free. Keeping busy really helped me a lot. And, yes you can help others by sharing your journey and support to other new quitters. Try not to look at it as a war--it's a journey with challenges that you can overcome. That's what we're all about. If you need help, just reach out.
Remind yourself " I don't do that anymore"
