groupstraining - patches - lozenges - I can Quit

Hallo everyone, I am going to quit smoking this evening at 19:00. I am Dutch 54 years old, woman and smoke since my 14th. This time I', going to be succeed because I'm doing a groupstraining and using patches and lozenges. And I'm here too :-))

Dear Dhyana: Welcome. I am on my the seventh day. In case you may find this helpful: " Never take another puff. It seems so simple. If you want to quit smoking all you need
to do is to never take another puff. There you have it-a roadmap for breaking free from
one of the deadliest scourges ever to hit mankind. Nearly five million people a year die
from smoking. Many knew the dangers and wanted to quit but didn't feel as if they knew
how to break away from such a complicated and powerful addiction. Truth be known,
this is not a complicated addiction and while on the surface it may seem powerful, in
truth, it is not. Yes there are lots and lots of people who smoke until it kills them but it is
not that they couldn't quit. It's that they didn't have the understanding of what was needed
to quit, and more importantly, what they needed to do to stay quit. Again, the answer to
both is to never take another puff." Joel Spitzer author of Never take another puff. A very helpful book.

Thanks! I will never take another puff. Starting with today. I'm not smoking this day ;-)) Is is helpfull to do in staps.
Yesterday I made a promise; not smoking this week.
