Going to quit tomorrow

6 years ago 0 +0 / -0 11226

Welcome Kenny1989!

Congrats on getting started. Having past relapses is actually a good sign. The more times you have attempted to quit before, the more wisdom you gain. What triggered your last relapse? How were you able to make it 13 days then?

Well done Kenny!

Get reading!! The quit is right there in front of you. If you want it, grab it - it's yours!!

One day at a time, half-a-day if necessary or hourly of 15 minute segments. Just don't smoke. Not One Puff Ever!!!

Whatever it takes to ride out the cravings, just do it. They will not last. Tough it out and you will be a winner. My mantra during those difficult crave times in the early days of my quit was "I have no need nor desire to smoke" which I repeated endlessly until the crave passed. It worked! Over time the gap between craves gets longer and the craves themselves get weaker until they are no longer a problem. I no longer craves cigarettes and haven't done for years!!

It's a hard climb but once you reach the mountain-top, the view of the other side is exhilarating. You'll know when you get there. Join us!!

Good Luck,

Penitent

Hi Kenny1989,

It's good to hear that you are not giving up trying to quit smoking.

The patch should help you with the physical part of your quit and let you concentrate on the mental part. I too quit with the help of the patch.

There are all kinds of tips and hints for quitting buried here in these forums. I'd suggest starting off by going through the "my program" at the top of the page. It has some good tips and hints and helps prepare you for the pitfalls that lay ahead.

Some of the gizmos that helped me at the start were things to keep my hands busy. Rubber bands, stress balls, a plastic straw. I used the straw to mimic smoking and at least for me, it did help to curb the urge. Do a search of these forums with keywords like tip or quitting aids and you'll find a boatload of different things other people have used to help them on their quit journey.

I wish you the best on your new quit journey. Stay strong and watch out for all those triggers.

Good Luck Kenny,

All the tips and advice you could ever want or need are here in the pages and pages of archive pain and suffering!!!

Seriously, it is all here and I suggest you read and read and read.

You can do this if you really want to but look no further than today. Today I will not smoke. Take it one day at a time.
