I could really use some support. I know its early in the quit but I am struggling. I have smoked for 25 years and have just realized that not one cigarette has ever done anything other than create anxiety, guilt and fear. Ready to be done but my brain isnt.
Timbo637 @ Oct 14, 2019 5:26:06 PMHi Deepbreath75,
Welcome to the site! Congratulations on starting your quit journey. 25 years is a long time to have smoked, but with willpower and the right mindset you can beat this addiction. I quit after 37 years of smoking so I know it can be done. Are you going cold turkey or are you using nicotine replacement therapy? I quit with the help of the patch, at least for the first month. How many did you smoke a day on average? Have you tried to quit before? It's going to take some time to re-program your brain to not wanting a cigarette, but with perseverance you CAN do it. It helps to stop in and drop a line every now and then too, especially when you get a strong urge. By the time you post your message, the urge should be subsiding.
I wish you the best on your journey. Be sure and keep us posted on your progress. We've been there done that and are here to give you all the support we can. ?
Hi Timbo637
I fell off last night, I almost made it to the 72 hour mark! I cannot sleep for some reason and needed to be up at 3 am. Please send me positive vibes. When do you start feeling better, stronger, healthier, prouder?
