G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required).

Hi Darcy. I was scared to quit also. I had established such a love/ hate relationship with smoking and I wasn't sure how to deal with withdrawal. Good news is I didn't think about it anymore- I just did it. And kept doing it. Times were tough on occasion, but overall it was very doable and I kick myself for not trying sooner. Bottom line? Just do it- don't overthink

Thanks, Jillar. I appreciate your belief that I can.

NOPE

I was terrified - anticipated a big battle and in reality the first 3 days were rough, but not as bad as I had imagined. All the best to you @darcy. If you have been cutting down, which in my experience is tougher than just quitting, you can do this!

Well said, DenaliBlues. Yay you and your freedom.

NOPE!

I'm glad you posted @darcy. You know you CAN quit without WANTING to quit, a lot of us have. I didn't want to quit but my breathing was so bad that I had to quit. Now I'm on oxygen because I waiting so long. As you get older you're going to start feeling the repercussions of your actions so why not quit BEFORE this happens? Trust me you'll be glad you did.........

Hello QT People, I am lurking about wanting to want to quit. Doing it the hard way, so far. Down from a pack a day to half a pack and experiencing the repeated withdrawals. Joel's words ringing in my head.... only two reasons to smoke, paraphrasing here... 1. you want to die a horrible painful death 2. you want to keep experiencing withdrawal and all it's joys I am scared. I am having trouble believing in myself. I am unwilling, thus far. I am afraid to fail, again. I am afraid to commit to nope, to keep smoking, to LIVE. I am giving my power to people who profit from my addiction and life draining away. I am able. I am kind. I am hopeful. I am swimming and doing water aerobics (over 100 miles last year). I am me in all my foibles and big feels. Afraid to BE here before I actually quit. So risking this post for what reason I do not know. Avoiding lighting up right now. Hoping your quits are solid and sticky, your lives are full of robust laughter and deep breaths. Love and Light, Darcy

Hope you get better soon @catlover
