Welcome!

Congrats on getting started. It is normal to feel scared - with time you will gain confidence in your quit. How do you think you can gain more confidence in your quit plan? What do you think you still need to do to prepare?

You must to make first thing first ,(priorities) ....What I mean is,,,,,,,for example if I in a middle of divorces process ,then I suddenly say to myself "you know what? you need to quit smoke also need to quit your mean job also want to quit drinking.....etc, all that at one time ..Things didn't work this way .
 
 In short care first by quit smoking then deal with gaining weight then your depressed and I'm sure your child will come back to you.

Hey ya'll! My name is Sarah and I am a smoker. I decided to start my journey to becoming a non-smoker. Truth is, I'm scared! I'm excited and worried and have very little confidence that I will truly make it this time. I have quit in the past. Quit for a year and started back up. I quit for two years, and started back up. I want to quit smoking and live a healthier lifestyle. I'm terrified of gaining weight (I'm already extra chubby) and falling into a serious pattern of self-destruction! I get terribly depressed and my only child has moved away from home. The "Empty Nest" thing is terribly hard!! Anyhow, I'm not sure if this is the right time to try to quit but at the same time, I can't keep putting it off. "Excuses" are what keeps me from quitting. So here I go! I'm taking my first steps to becoming smoke free. I hope I will meet new people on here and be able to establish a support system, not only for my self but be able to help support others as well! Have a good day ya'll and good luck to everyone! God Bless!
