3 days
Stay your ground. 3rd day...mates bridal shower! Had some wine. Everyone who never smoked tells me just quit. Do something for 30 years, multiple times a day then stop. How do you feel? Don't offer support if you have not been in my shoes. This is the only place i can say...they have been there, they know

47 years as a smoker and its not easy. Just remember the reason for wanting to quit and never let it go.My reason was health,don't leave it too late as I have irreversible lung damage ( c.o.p.d.)Give up while its your decision don't wait for your body to tell you.

I am one day in with one minor slip. I realized then that I will need help, so I went and got patches so I am at it again. I really want to stop and am soooooo happy I found this support group. Good luck to you all!
I made it through, no slip! Grabbed an e cig but after the 1st puff put it down. Feeling better today just coughing alot. What's keeping me strong is I keep saying I never want to go through this again. Im done. Thank you to everyone for your support! Day 4

Great job!!
Yes, some people who have never smoked don't understand how bloody hard it is. Then again, a minority of people who quit will tell you how easy it is. It does take time and it does take work. My view which I only express and never force is that in time, we become better at staying quit.
