Just starting up

Hi all, I am sick of feeling guilty about my smoking and the image I am displaying for my toddler. I am sick of the feeling of tightness in my chest and breathlessness when I walk. I am starting my quit journey now and I am so very anxious. Even the thought of not having cigarettes at home or work is stressing me out. I need to succeed for my family. Wish me luck.

Hello Gasper, this is the best decision you've made. The first days are sometimes difficult but with the right mental state it will pass. Good wishes!

Hi there, it's the best thing you can do for yourself. I am on day 13 and am feeling great for it. I love the fact I am not smoking. I love the fact I don't have to think about leaving my friends and going outside for a smoke. I love the fact that overall I feel much more alert and energetic. The change is enormous.
You will love it too.

You've totally got this! We've all been through the pain of quitting but it is very possible to do! You've got your toddler to think about - it's great motivation. Best of luck! :)
