24 hours since I smoked

[nsd_user663_5429]

Hi everyone, this is my first attempt at quitting, have smoked for 15 years and im not even 30 yet! Myself and my boyfriend are quitting together, he has the gum, I'm on the patches. this morning was really hard work, have munched on a load of fruit and have to say the feeling of being anxious constantly has subsided. loving reading about everyone else and how they are getting on. I am really determined to do this!!!!!! Just hope the positivness stays with me!!!

PMA Thats the key! Well done, you've completed the hardest bit by making the decision to quit. Read some of the links, woofmang tales was my main inspiration and post when you need it.

Welcome to the forum!!

Welcome and well done. You sound really up for this and having the support of your boyfriend will be good, although of course there are down sides to quitting together as well:eek:

Reading the links often will help you keep your positive mental attitude.

Good luck, and keep us posted.
