Day 1 for me too!

Hi everybody

This is my first day.

I want to quit for over a year now, and it's getting time i leave this nasty habit behind.

I smoked for +/-15 years, and it's the thing i most regret in my life.

My fears are: how to deal with it emotionally. Specially when i feel down or more stressed, i always had a smoke...and now i have no clue how will i substitute that.

Anyway, it seems somehow easier being registered in the forum, and read about each others experiences.

Kind regards to everyone

Dalma

Hi Dalma welcome to the forum and quitting the cigs. It is a learning process dealing with daily life without the cigs. I am a very emotional stressy person or should I say I was. After the first 3 or 4 weeks I have found myself in situations where normally I would have been in a right state but I seem to deal with things a lot better than I used to, I never believed them when they used to say that cig caused you stress but I do now. Not saying that I dont have the odd rant or cry but it is never as bad as it used to be. Just believe in yourself that you will be able to cope, get over the first few hurdles and you will know what I mean and you will never want to go back
