Hi JIll! Welcome to our family of quitters You have the right idea about taking things a day a a time and also about learning as much as you can about this horrible addiction. Education about the nicotine addiction is key to a lasting quit! You CAN quit, just like the rest of us have. No one here is a special flower. We all go through the trials and tribulations of quitng but together, we make it through to the other side. Stick around; learn as much as you can and join in on the fun if you like. Quitting doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. You may just make some friendships here that you never expected to. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! Oh, and congrats on one week in the books! That's the toughest one of all to get through

All the stuff you will go through, we have all experienced the same stuff so it's a great pace to come and research stuff or ask questions. Knowledge about this addiction is critical to beating it. Your comment about the control nicotine addiction has over your life is a significant one. That's probably one of the most benefits of quitting. Stick close to this place and you will learn lots and we can support you through your quit. And yes, there are many quit symptoms that are similar to a flu is common in the early days. Make sure you drink lots of water and suck on candies or something with sugar in it because your blood sugar levels will drop once you quit.

Keep up the great work Jack Those automatic thoughts and motions related to your smoking will fade over time so no worries there. The main thing is, you don't act on those thoughts. That's the quitting process. Be patient and slowly it will happen for you as it has for all of us here. Are you doing a lot of cross border shopping these days? With the currency exchange rate, it would be pretty tempting I would think.

Thanks Marti for your personal story. You are 100% correct too. There's NO downside to quitting. Only good things in your future as a non smoker And, Happy New Year to you!

-1 It's later in the Pool than it is where I am. You'll be the one tucking in soon

-1 lol - no way!!

Your visualizations of smokers and non smokers and wanting to be with the non smokers shows good progress. Keep it up. Visualizing smoking as a good or desirable thing is just perpetuating the lies you addiction has told you all these years. You're a non smoker now and starting to see the many benefits of that lifestyle. It will get even better. Keep fighting

I'll try one of those Red Death shots please!
