Its hard but I'm determined
I've been thinking of quitting smoking but never had the determination to start. Smoking is really tied in with my depression and when I even think about quitting I get emotional as it feels like im losing the only friend who stuck by me in my depression. I started vaping but now I'm both vaping and smoking and it looks like I have 2 addictions to deal with. Im determined to stop and hope by joing this community i can stop.
Hi Sarah, I really relate to smoking being tied in with depression, same for me too. It's scary. I'm on day two using patches. I find I go ok on the patches but a month or so after I finish with them the black dog returns. I'm hoping by reaching out here in this forum I can get to the other-side of that trigger and keep going. Gunning for you!
Thanks for the support. I joined this to try and get that support from others in the same boat as me. I tried Champix but that was a total failure. Fingers crossed we can help each other with our stories
Goodluck
I love the “ one day at a time “ policy. Don’t think about forever, just concentrate on today/ right now. It’s so much easier to just beat today than consider tomorrow, next week or maybe even next month.
