Cigarettes Not Smoked

... just some thoughts as you begin this journey... 1) The Cigarette is NOT 'a friend'. Get used to it. 2) You are not 'giving up' anything. Smoking never made a sad person happy or an ill person well. It will not fix your broken-down car or washing-machine. Financial problems? Buy a carton of cigs! 3) You have a choice to smoke or not to smoke. If you choose to smoke you will more than likely suffer from ill-health or worse. Would you choose to make your loved-ones, family or friends unhappy because of this? 4) You are not alone here. We have all experienced similar feelings. This means that there are many of us who can help you through. 5) NOPE. (Not One Puff Ever). Do not listen to voices in your head that tell you it's OK to have 'just one'. The addiction may throw several thousand excuses your way. Each excuse is as ridiculous as the next. 6) Believe it or not, the early stages of your can be exciting and exhilarating. You realise how important this is to you and friends / family may be very supportive. As time passes, people may stop asking you how it's going, but it still means a lot to you. You won't be forgotten here! Keep posting and reading. 7) Remember that it only takes a short time to kick the physical addiction to nicotine. It takes longer for the brain to undo what was perhaps years of conditioning. Time WILL heal though. 8) See your health improve in days! Your skin will improve within a week and the rest will follow. And by the way, nobody died trying to quit... You are also taking control of your life! And every hour, every day strengthens your quit! 9) It is OK to be needy when you feel weak. Reach out and people here will help. And when you feel stronger, you can do the same for others .. 10) You will have more money! Buy yourself a present. Today. You deserve it!
