Hello everyone! I was here back in October, when I tried to quit (for the 700th time, it feels like) I did not do very well then, only made it a week, I was terribly stressed and that seems to be the common denominator for me.So have spent the last four & a half months smoking and wishing I could quit again so I could feel better.
Finally the time has come. I find I really have to have my head in the right place to do this. I quit yesterday am, and so far am doing okay, just wanting to munch a little more than usual. Am on the patch, and plan this time to double the time on each step as to gove me extra time to get used to the lower dose of nicotine. I have had trouble in the past when I finally get off the paych so am trying to plan ahead. I find it so wonderful to have a place to come and share the experiences. The other night I watched "Intervention" about drug addictions etc, and it was particularily motivating (as cigs are a drug too).Am looking forward to coming on site, to read up and chat with you all. Glad to be back!
