A New Years Resolution... now what?
Soon, i should think iCanQuit will get many more people joining looking to quit smoking. As a New Years Resolution, many may not have given it a lot of thought or planning, or any real commitment to the task.
Welcome to iCanQuit with warm, genuine people like yourself who have come here for advice, support and knowledge. Many have succeed in their quits, while others will have experiences to help you in yours. Everyone's quits are different, and yours may be unique in its own way as well. There are no right or wrongs. If you slip up, start over.
I quit cold turkey and posted my first story about it if you should choose to "follow" I was luckier than most and had a very easy quit. Many have found it easier than we had actually been led to believe. I and many others believe it is even much easier again with the "mindset" which you will pick up on quickly if you read stories.
I am hoping others who have encouraging quit stories which include your Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to share your stories as I have in hopes more people will find the incentive to quit in this coming year.
Redfield posted a great quit story "never to late to give up smoking". A 50 year addiction , cold turkey with the help on an app like iCanQuit I gather. Sites like these are instrumental in keeping the quit i think. A reminder to where we are going and where we have been.
I know there are a multitude of inspiring success stories on here and i try to read some when i have the time. I wish you would post here as to gather a complication of great quit strategies. Although we can see some long and successful quits, sometimes it is hard to ascertain what method or methods were used and how effective they were in diminishing cravings throughout the journey. If you had a rough start or slip and changed to a different NRT or strategy that you personally found much easier, please share here, now and perhaps share your story again in the new year where they will be seen by newcomers more easily.
