Why I want to quit
I like to smoke but have realised lately that I REALLY am not enjoying them as I used to.
About 80% of my smokes I would only smoke about 3/4 of the cigarette anyway before butting our and thought this is a waste.
But how do I break the stranglehold these things have over me as I have been smoking for 30 years?
Perhaps it’s my daughter telling me I smell; perhaps it’s the financial strain I am under; perhaps it’s my health has started to suffer or a combination of all these.
Anyway I am on Day 1 of my quit for good campaign and even though this will be my 4th attempt in about 10 years I am now more determined than ever to succeed.
I truly believe I need to be stronger and will my mind to not want to smoke; the inhalator & patches might help but it is ME that is the decisive factor.
Wish me luck & to anyone who reads this I hope you can quit too or share your success with me.
Hi JNRRooster and congrats on your decision to quit. All those reasons are excellent reasons to quit smoking, there is really no good reason to keep smoking. You have a great attitude! I'm finishing up day 4 and already know I'm not going to go back to it, I'll do whatever it takes to remain free of that god awful addiction before it kills me. Wishing you the very best with your quit and look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Well done Juniper1221
4 days - going good
I can’t say Day 1 was easy found myself thinking about a quick dart all through the day but resisted the urges
They say it gets easier & better
Funny thing is I know it’s all in the mind but we have to retrain what’s going on up there
I am glad you have been strong & determined in your first week I hope I know I will be trying to as well
Yes looking forward to sharing the journey with you
Stay strong there is support here
Way to go resisting those urges yesterday the more you resist those craves and find other ways to deal with them the easier it will become. Wishing you the best on day 2. Day 5 now for me. We can do this!!!
