Keeping yourself busy
I am just getting started on my journey to be smoke free. 1 day in and honestly I have smoked 1 today-- a minor slip-- I am now back on track and plan to keep myself occupied. I am using the patch and am trying to keep my mind off them. I think that is the hardest part. I have started a journal and wrote down how I felt when I slipped so that if I start to slip again I can read it and remind myself how I felt when I did slip. Wish me luck!
Hi Rollins,
good luck on your journey and remember slipping up is not a failure it is just another step in giving up as long as you get right back in there with the no smokes.
Never give up giving up.
Hi Rollins,
You will get there it just takes time. I found the patch helpful. In time, it allowed for me to gain my confidence. Every day you get through is something to be very proud of.
Thank you all for your support, this website is a god send! I am now on day 4 and today was rough I have to say! I am going to make it!
