trying to become a quitter

nsd_user663_64558 profile image

Hello, I hope to obtain some tips to break this Habit Ive been in for 25+ years 2-3 packs a day. Im gonna try the patches here in a day or so. My fear is not the nicotine withdrawl but the action of the act. Im disabled so I dont really have a way to keep busy. Thanks

Good luck! Don't set yourself up for failure by thinking what might happen. Nicotine is out of the system by day three so peak of symptoms will pass also on day three. After that it will be easier and easier.

Ask yourself not "Why am I quitting?", ask yourself "Why should I smoke?"

Smoking doesn't have any positive effect on you and if you find any positive answer to this question - you need to work on your motivation a bit more.

And have this in mind, as one person put it nicely,: Life is not easier, but it is more comfortable as a non smoker. :)

Good luck bmdakk, bring all the motivation you can muster to the fight, it'll be a battle for sure. Read, read and read some more, the more you know the easier it'll be to recogonize what your dealing with each step of the way. Prepare, keep busy, post often, drink lots of water, stay strong. Remember your not the first, your not alone and hopefully your doing this for yourself.
