To commit one needs to accept to bad and what sacrifices must be made to achieve the good. Remember that you are choosing you.

So after several relapses, I’ve taken time to think, reflect and have decided to start my quit date over again. I am ready for a new day 1 of N.O.P.E and am determined to stay away this time. My triggers seem to be straight after work, I go to a shop, buy a pack and then Chuck them away as soon as I’m home and have smoked 2-3. I am so over it.

Hi everyone, I have just decided to start my quit journey and am a little apprehensive about the whole process. I actually gave up in August 2019 but took the habit up again 3 months ago when I was pretty low and mentally ill.

This may not be an actual tip, but it is a question of concern that I am having during my first couple of months of staying cigarette free. I have been more tired and my blood pressure seems to be higher than I noticed when I was smoking. I believe this will all subside in time, but I'm hoping I can hear some similar stories and how things DO get better.
