Finally Quit


18 years ago 0 112 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
You're doing great. My theory is if you can go an entire day without smoking - getting up to going to bed - you have proved to yourself that you can quit smoking because you have quit smoking for an entire day. Being on non-smoker is simply stringing a lifetime of those non-smoking days together. It is hard but worth it. The nicotine demon will attack so be ready and be strong. Try deep breathing exercises. They worked for me in my cold turkey quit.

Mich, I think I recall my fourth day. I had no idea that I could have gone that long and I was just heady with excitement and anxiety and all the other emotions that go with embarking on a new adventure. The exciting thing for you is that the nicotine is pretty much gone by now. But you still have to deal with a variety of emotional and some physical issues. So be on your guard. Stay here and read as many posts as you can. If you haven't done the program tools yet, please do. They will absolutely help you. Good luck!
