My quit journey
Monday is quit day. Cold turkey. No more excuses. I've had enough. Something HAS to change. For me. For my step children. For the baby I want to start trying for. I am happy. I am loved. I am free. Smoking does NOT serve me any purpose. Smoking is KILLING ME. My health is declining. I've only lived 27 years and have put my lungs and body through so much the past 14 of them. My body has carried me this far and I owe it at least this. I can do this. I am strong enough. I have overcome so much worse. I am enough. I've got this.

Started cold turkey 6 weeks ago, after 35 years of smoking, still no cigarettes, you can do it, there will be challenging times that you will get through, I now feel great!! Good luck
You are an absolute legend!! And a great inspiration! I've 'saved' $279 on cigarettes since I started cutting back on 16/2, so even though some days have been worse then others, in the whole period overall i have smoked 208 cigarettes LESS then i normally would have, average of 7.7 a day less (can't leave out the .7 lol)! That on it's own has been so hard but the fact I've done it is a huge motivator already, i tell myself always cold turkey every day but when i slip i record them and continue trying, that's my biggest promise to myself right now, that i won't give up om giving up, worst case at this stage it will be a cut back whixh is working so far :)
Stay true to yourself, withdrawal pangs last only minutes, distract yourself for those few minutes maybe by getting onto this forum and reading others stories, keep doing this and the pangs will be fewer and fewer, and above all Believe in Youself, YOU can do this
