Finished with the coffin nails

I just finished with smoking. I've been in meeting down to a pack, half a pack a day. This morning was the last cigarette. The neurosis and anxiety are a killer. Just writing to say I am finished with cigatettes, and I won't smoke another, no matter what it takes, no matter what I am going through, and matter what I have been through. I know quitting smoking has been, and is going to be the best thing I can do in my life.

Hi RobbenWendy and welcome to Quit Support 👋👋Its great to hear that you've smoked your last cigarette and now on your way to be smokefree 🚭👍👏👏

I dont know if your using any form of NRT or not, but it does help in the early days👍Drink plenty of water to help flush all the toxins out of your body and maybe try to alter your routine a little, as this will help with the habit bit of it 👍

Good luck and if you need any help, we are only a couple of clicks away 🚭👍😀😺

Hello I was on NRT last month. Today at some point I will take a walk it is a real nice walk around the ville where I live, I wont let others stress me out copping for a cigarette, and I wont rush to the bodegas just because I have nothing else to do. It's always a drag when the renegades flag two fingers to their mouth and say you got, you got.

Rooting for you, RobbenWendy!

I recognise just the same determination in your words that I felt when I finally, finally had enough after decades of smoking. "No matter what it takes" is exactly what I thought. "If I have to feel a little crazy for a few days, or however long - well, I'll just have to feel a little crazy".

That feeling of pride you get when you free yourself from the slavery of nicotine addiction is huge - and the best part is, it stays with you every day that you stay quit!

Yes in my first day I start to lose focus and my thinking is in denial, but i haven't smoked yet since 6:00 am. I know it is not really about trying, and takes determination. There is no greater pleasure or victory than quitting smoking, and not living behind a smoke screen or veil of all of the fears I am hiding.
