I'm quitting tomorrow!

[nsd_user663_61565]

Hi all.

I'm Bev from Buckinghamshire and will be quitting tomorrow morning. A little apprehensive about it as I have smoked for years but, I need to do this as I suffer with Crohns disease and smoking really doesn't help this condition. Will be starting with the patches first thing in the morning.

Hiya Bev and welcome to the forum!!

You've made a fab decision, and joining here will definitely help you

Patches are great, started mine 6 weeks ago tomorrow, and they really helped.

Post on here as much as you like, there's always someone here to help, or encourage you!!

Welcome Bev,

You've made two great decisions,

Quitting smoking and joining this forum.

The advice/support is fantastic.

There are lots of people here who have smoked for years and who were terrifed to take that first step (I was one of them).

Take a deep breath and jump in.

well done Bev!

Well done Bev, its really scarey...especially after smoking for years.

Remember that those cravings dont last long.....

Im a fellow day 1er, starting today....again......

Thank you!

Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement. Well here I 'am at day 3 being a non smoker. So far so good still struggling with not having that first ciggy in the morning (as soon as I get up with my first coffee of the day) but the rest of the day is fine. Feeling quite proud of myself even though I have a long way to go xx

Huge well done Bev, those first few days are the hardest. It's always nice to see a nice strong start to a quit, good stuff.

well done Bev, first 3 days are tough, Im quitting using patches too and can say they have been a god send at taking the edge off of the craves, it takes a while to stop missing the first cig of the day, the one after meals etc, but it does come honestly Im only 9 weeks in and I reckon I have fleeting thoughts about cigs a couple of times a week now and its more " I could fancy one" rahter than " aaaargh I HAVE to have one" keep it up girlfriend xx
