I do, I dont, I will, I wont....
Hello to you all,
Just joined today as part of my quitting process. 64 years old and had my first ciggie aged 13. Have given up a few times but it comes back and gets me.
I am on Zyban and patches and managing to get through each day. Very stressful situation at home with hubby having suffered a shoulder injury just a week ago. Not sure how or when that will resolve itself, but being self employed we have currently lost an income. I have a good job but it is a worry. So part of my motivation is to save money by not spending $350 a week on stupid cigarettes!!
I know I need to knuckle down, but probably not the easiest time to quit. Having to take on all the house and garden chores with renovations underway - not sure when they'll get finished now.
Day 4 - struggling a bit......
Hi @Nugget!
Welcome and thanks for sharing... sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate right now!
Getting through these first few days while dealing all of that is no small feat - but the fact that you’re still going says you've got a fair bit of resolve there!
Saving $350 a week is a powerful motivator and something that can really build over time. For now, it’s okay to just focus on getting through each day one step at a time.
