Starting Today
Well I bought my last pack of cigarettes today. It is my goal not to open this pack. Just have it there for a crutch. I am more and more out of breath no matter what I do. I know this is going to be very hard, I am just praying that I can go through with it.
Hi Zeke, welcome to this forum - its a great community for us quitting smoking where we share our triumphs and failures - you'll get lots of support from here :o)
Although I recommend removing all temptations (your packet of ciggies, ashtrays, lighters) and you'll need to be strong, committed, and diligent - its not an easy journey but it is possible
Keep distracted and good luck
Well I failed on my first day and I hate myself for it. Went to lunch and smoked and after work same thing. Going to try at least to cut down drastically today and maybe start by this weekend to quit.
Thanks Wendy, I know the breathing problems really are scarring me. I will have to try like you said and just quit. It is so weird because that actually scares me too.
All the best with your efforts, Zeke. I have to be honest, for me having a packet of cigarets around just proved to me that I am weak, as after hours of internal battles I could not resist the temptation and smoked them....
Maybe you are different, but for me, I just needed to get rid of all the smoking material at home and also the pressure from the outside world that I should not start again... (everyone knew..) . Also sports really, really helped... So what I want to say is good luck, find your way and keep us postet... You can battle it.
Thanks so much for the encouragement. I have to agree with you I have to get rid of all material relating to smoking. I guess I will have to cloister myself up in my house after work and weekends, because where ever we go socializing everyone is smoking which I know would be very tormenting. Am going to try again
Thanks Dobbin, still trying, cutting down this week, and I am planning on next Monday to Finally stop.
