here we go after 25 years

I was nervous too! I can remember thinking how stupid it was to be nervous but I think I was quite excited about it too.

I hope you are looking forward to being back in control of your life - not being controlled by those evil white sticks. I can promise you it is a great feeling to be free!

Please don't be nervous - be excited and prepare to celebrate your new found freedom.

Read lots and post on here whenever you can - it has made this whole thing so much easier for me.

Hi Billy

Welcome to the Forum and welcome to a new life without the fags.

You will soon find that there is nothing to fear in quitting, you are only gaining.

Keep reading and educating yourself.

Well done on your decision.

Welcome Billy,

Everyone is nervous when starting out. Get the first few days out of the way and it really does become easier as the days go by. Logging in on this forum really does help - there is always someone to cheer you along.

Morning Billyc

Hope your day one is running smooth. xxxxxxx

Hi Billy

Good luck mate !

Grit your teeth and kick ass !!

Hi Billy welcome to the forum, it appears we're quitting on the same day! I don't think it's being selfish at all quitting for yourself, at the end of the day, it's your health!

It's understandable that you're nervous, I am slightly too. It's a big decision to make and not one to be taken if you're not prepared. If you haven't already, get some research in. The folks here will be full of advice and encouragement, and remember that you're never alone!

Feel free to add me to your contacts; we'll most probably be going through the same things at the same time.

Good Luck!

Hi there Billy and Chuddy - hope you have got through today ok?

Day 1 soon turns into week 1 - then it just gets easier and easier.

thanks for all the messages it really does help ( as you all know ).

only a few hours till day one is finished, the first 6 hours were a nightmare, I woke up at 7am and wanted to kill the world by about 9.30 but since about 1pm been feeling better and better.

ive been using the inhalator, maybe its helping I dont know.

A good start

Great stuff Billy - we knew you could do it!

The next couple of days will be a bit tough at times so be on your guard ready to shoot down those nicotine demons who'll try to persuade you that you can't do this. It can be a bit tough but it's not painful and it WILL get easier - stick with it and keep us updated with how you get on!
