This will be my third serious quit attempt and is my first time being a part of this community. I can count the number of days I lasted in previous attempts on both hands. My quit date is the afternoon of 10/22/2010, right before the weekend so that I may spend the first couple days of withdrawals away from work. Tech support for the iPhone is tedious enough as it is.
I am tired of being a smoker. Recently I gathered up a large number of empty packs that I had neglected to throw away and saw that I had spent hundreds of dollars on nothing. I want my lungs back. I want to be healthy. Going through the preparation steps gave me some ideas for small steps that I will be taking until I quit for good.
-delaying the first smoke until my morning break (about three hours after waking)
-reducing the number of smokes smoked at lunch from two to one
-delaying each smoke smoked at home by fifteen minutes after the craving strikes
-visualizing myself as a non-smoker
I will be on and off this website every day until I am 100% smober. Feel free to keep in contact and let me know if you need a quit-buddy or would like to be mine. Crying is not my style but I promise you I would bawl my eyes out if, through my efforts, my father would finally make the decision to quit. Thank you all for being here.
