7 days!

[angelinafoote]

I'm once again 7 days without a ciggy...however this time is COMPLETELY different and a thousand times harder than any other time I've quit. I'm feeling all the different withdraw symptoms and have been doing my homework to understand them. And this time...I REALLY do not want to have to feel these feelings and symptoms again! So I say...feel the anger, feel the cravings, feel the restlessness, feel the brain fog, feel the anger (lol)...but just know evidently it comes down to making a simple choice to either smoke...or not to smoke. I am choosing not to smoke! Here's to many, many more hours, days, weeks, months and years to choosing not to smoke

Great mindset angelinafoote - alot say after several attempts to stop the sticky one is the hardest which is a good sign for you. Well done on 1 week, as you say just keep taking it hour by hour and the mantra smoking is not an option - keep in touch

Angelinafoote...I take my Hat off to you for not quitting to quit...But geepers...stop torturing yourself and quit...One of the reasons I will never smoke again is to not ever go through the hell of quitting again...It was the most terrifying, hellish time of my life and in the same breath the very best decision of my life... Strongs..and this time you are in it to win it..!!

Ha! Yup I'm a sucker for tortured for sure! I think this is about my 7or 8th attempt. But like I mentioned it is THEE ABOSOLUTE hardest this time around and believe me when I say I really don't want to have to feel these withdraws again...here's hoping and I'm definitely in it to win it

But what is not said is to stay quit is not that easy... Strongs !!!
