Starting my journey

Today I have started the journey to become a non-smoker (again..the last time I gave up it lasted for 10 years) I am scared of giving up....it is as though I am losing a friend...not a good friend but who I grab when I am stressed or just needing to take 5 from what I am doing or waiting for the jug to boil etc. I want to give up so much but I just seem to keeping going. My son smokes hence there is always smokes around. I have an uphill climb to start but I hope to succeed for myself and my awesome husband. I feel guilty when I light up but still do so. If anyone has some tips on how to start my journey with confidence I would appreciate any tips etc
Goodluck everyone with our journey to better health and more dollars in our pockets :-)

Hi how are you going.I felt exactly the same my daughter smokes and it actually doesn't bother me I just get some gum,even with stress gum is a better option and patches do help with stress I really notice that when I have forgotton to replace the patch I got a bit more antsy .Goodluck and feel free

Thanks Papa1 for your comments. I plan on stocking up today on chewy and barley sugar to replace as many cigs as possible. Goodluck with your journey to being free. Enjoy your day :-)

Have a plan for start of day and keep moving.quit apps are very motivational. Patches took the edge off cravings . Each to their own . Good luck
