Hi Nodrah congratulations on your decision to quit. Day 1 tomorrow first major step of the journey .really important to just keep getting through the next 15 mins and then the next 15 mins and before you know it you will be at half a day and then a full day. It is achievable just gotta bite the day into small chunks. Hope it goes well. Keep posting and visiting this site for support and motivation and some good ideas to help. Have a good day

Hi Nodrah, what a great decision you have made. It might not necessarily feel like it on Day one or two or three. But each day that goes by will feel even better. This site is the best for support. Just keen checking in and hearing other people's inspirational stories or empathise with the stories of those who are doing it tough. Nannette (above) talks about Team Determination and it seemed to me to be an honour to join that team and let those ahead of us give us a leg up with their stories. All the very best.

Hi nodrah. The hardest part of stopping smoking is to actually make that decision. The rest is like a roller coaster ride with highs and lows, ebbs & flows... And the best help comes from this site where you will get so much support and encouragement. Anyone on this journey on this sight will be very understanding, caring & inspirational. You will not be alone...
