Day 1

Today is day 1 and I’m struggling. I feel like my heart is racing, like I’m going to be sick and I am so moody but I can do this and I will!! I need to do this!!! Wish me luck <3>3>

It will get worse, but then it will get better. The first few days are the hardest. Eat fruit, exercise, walk, run...distract yourself. You will be tired so don't be ashamed to relax and sleep also. Your mind is just playing tricks on you right now and your heart is healing. Stay in control.

Hi Erin. Reading our stories and seeing all the success makes the idea less scary. Once I believed that i could quit smoking,...I did. In fact, it was easy. A little discomfort for a while for most people, but so many rewards . It is well worth the sacrifices that you feel that you are making now. When you understand that smoking robbed you of health and money and gave absolutely nothing in return except resignation to being a life long smoker, you will join us all here in the quest for freedom. It is achievable. Use the tools we share, the support, the belief!

Be calm it will be okay .I was afraid scared to be without my in my mind best friend,but really not our friend just a habit and habits can be broken.For me no more standing out in the cold ,no more people’s dirty looks be cause I lit a cig. Wow it is really worth I smell good my clothes smell good .So u can do this u are the boss I did it you can .I smoked for over 40 years...
