Hi all,
I'm brand new here, and I am extremely serious about quitting. I've been smoking for 5 years. At first, it was social and I didn't even enjoy it because my parents smoked very heavily while I was growing up. The smell of it made me queasy. I only smoked when I was at my serving job at the time. At the time, I knew that I didn't need to worry about being addicted because I didn't even enjoy anything about smoking, with the exception of social acceptance. I smoked on and off for a year. After a year, it became more consistent and in no time I was addicted. I didn't even realize it until just recently. I'm choosing to quit because I am still extremely young, and I don't want to shorten my life anymore than I have. I'm embarrassed that I smoke. When I light up a cigarette in my car I just feel disappointed and know I'm making a poor choice. I feel like cigarettes control my life. I wake up, smoke. I take a break from work, smoke. I get off of work, smoke. Etc! I want my life back. I went to my doctor and she put me on a Nicotine Patch - 7mgs. It was working at first, until I traveled for work, and all they would do it make me feel nauseated. I reached back out to her to explain the issues in having, and I'm waiting for her response. Today was a very difficult day, I smoked quite a bit and I feel devastated. I let myself down, and I can't take it back. What can I do to get myself back on track? How do I actually quit? Lastly, how do I quit smoking when everyone else I know smokes?
Thank you all in advance for your advice.
