We are all a little different!

Each journey is different and I believe everyone needs to take their own path. I know that I put pressure on myself and was very anxious when the "Quit Date" was approaching, it was horrible. I then stepped back and thought I will stop smoking in a five day time period, I won't pick a day I'll just stop when I feel like it. Then I remembered how I freaked out at each 'quit time' when I ran out of smokes.OMG, I have no smokes! My heart would race, I'd feel uncomfortable and I'd panic. To relieve this I would race to the supermarket within an hour and buy some more. This time when I stopped I made sure that I had 5 smokes left in the packet, 47 days later those 5 smokes are still in the packet on the kitchen bench. Am I tempted? No and I have never been. For me I needed to do things different to the advice given on quit sites.i needed to do what felt right to me. I felt calm and so much better doing it this way. That's me and my journey.. What you do is neither right nor wrong it just what suits you- Pick your path and skip down it.

Well said Cranky . On previous attempts to quit I had to have some in a pack and no I was not tempted to smoke them it just felt better having them .

Hi Cranky you are going so well. Cant we all relate to your post regarding that horrible feeling when there are no darts left in the house. Luckily that is now a distant memory. How nice is it to be clicking over 50 days? WoooHoo. Thanks to this website it has been so nice to share the journey. Well done x
