I am really going to try to quit this awful habit starting tomorrow once and for all. Reading through the posts on this forum has helped already. I feel quite positive at the moment and am, in a weird kind of way, looking forward to tomorrow.
I know from the numerous other times I've tried that it's not going to be easy, but I was on my own before. Now I've found this forum I think it will help.
Good luck to everyone else quitting tomorrow. xx

hello, i too am quitting tomorrow and you sound very positive, im not so positive and am feeling quite nervous at the moment, but with the help of everyone on here and doing it together i might just make it this time.
If I'm honest I'm a bit nervous too! Don't worry, I'm sure we can do this. Don't look at it as loosing something (cigarettes), but gaining something - freedom from those horrible expensive little things that won't let you leave the house without them!
No need to panic, just get your mindset right and say:
"I am not going to be a slave to ciggs anymore."
Throw everything out before you go to bed tonight. Get up with a positive attitude and anytime you feel a craving coming on drink plenty of water, keep busy, take deep breaths, scream if you have too and log in and read loads. This helped me,
Everyone on here have been a godsend to me. They are soooo wise in this area as they all have been through it and keep me going every day.
I know you can do it.
I am on day 15 and It feels great. It gets easier and easier as the days go on.

My first day i was so scared actually it was blind panick!!!! i took each day as it came and i am now almost 3 months down the line. I would not say it was easy but you have to think of the benefits... Does anyone really want to say those words to them selves " never thought it would happen to me, wish i had stopped when i had the chance" you can all do it with determination....Good luck tomorrow.
Hi, everyone and welcome to the forum! So glad you have decided to quit. It really isn't as hard as you've probably heard. The best way to prepare yourself is to read, read, and read some more.
