Hi Monia, Welcome to SSC. Good job, Post often, if you are having a rough patch or a crave, post and wait about 10 minutes. there is usually someone around to help you out.
There is Great advice and Super People Here.
I lost good quit... from "stupidity" and getting to "sure" of my Quit. The # 1 Rule is N O P E (not one Puff EVER) that is the rule I broke at 9 months. So I am back starting all over again. The first place I ran to begin my Quit is right here.
Use the "My Program & Tools & Resources" be prepared, have a plan, and hold your quit tight. Your mind ... wanting nicotine will try to tell you, just one, just one puff, especially if you are in a stressed spot, or when you usually light up. Be prepared with ice water, mints, or jumping up and doing an activity.
Make a list of all the benefits, Health, $$ smelling better, not trying to find a spot to hide and light up.. etc, all your motivitors. Remember rewards.. a magazine, a new water bottle, a book, anything you can think of, they can be free. and as you save money from not buying cigarettes, if you can.. put the money away and save up for something.
