This tuesday is my quit date

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 290

I am anxiously anticipating my ritual of monday night, when I tear up any remaining smokes I have, put the patch on the night stand and go to sleep. To wake to official start of my journey (although really the official time I think is when I logged onto this site), as a non smoker. I dont quite know what to expect, I havent gone a day without a cigarette in over 15 years, and even that was a partial day, when I last attempted to quit.

Nicotine demons in full effect tonight! I had a great day, passed on a few smokes that I would have normally lit up. I had my evening planned, finish step 4, print my coping skills, do some chattin' etc...... I got home to NO internet connection!!! :confuse:. The power cord to my modem went out! What the hell!! Anyway I finally got it patched in with my router cord and an hour or so of tech support to reconfig...I am back! :eg: And ready! Ok everybody thanks for all your support, I didnt really realise how important you are until I didnt have an internet connection and a way to connect with you. So finish step 4.....to do patches ready..........check coping aid...........check get rid of all cig related products.......check (almost, 1 last smoke to have, 3 to crush!!! Wish me luck guys, tomorrow it is: [color=Red]MY QUIT DATE[/color] I will follow up tomorrow!!! Alas, to know your pain and victories, I join you! GERONIMO!!!!!!

Welcome Kevin! Good for you. You should be looking forward to tuesday! You may be dreading it (as I did), but you might be pleasantly surprised with how easy your quit may be. I too am on Wellbutrin (Zyban), and it seems to be helping me greatly. My wife is also a non-smoker, so that was a BIG plus for helping me quit. Remember to ditch all your cigs, ashtrays and smoking materials. Changing your daily patterns may also help you avoid associations with cigs. Think about when you enjoyed smoking the most and then try to come up with a substitute. For example, I loved that first cig with my coffee on the deck in the mornings. On my first quit morning, I avoided the deck all together and I went upstairs and surfed the web instead. Good Luck!

Hey Dunedad, Tomorrow is the big day. You can do it. I am still alive and kicking so I know quiting smoking does not kill you, whereas smoking does. Good luck! ;) Same to you Kaitilina, good luck. There is a lot of support here, I found that out myself. Great motivators. :) Stardust

Hi, Kevin. Welcome to the SSC. You made a good choice coming here because it is so much easier to get quit/stay quit when you have the support of others who are going through it. I look forward to hearing about your milestones as they start to rack up - one day at a time. I haven't used the messenger. It loaded then crashed on my machine. Some people set up to use it so they can trade e-mails and then meet to IM at specified times, I think. Stay on the path and stay quit.

Don't let the quit overwhelm you, get through one day at a time. One hour at a time. Go to bed early. You quit meter is set, ready, set, go...
