I have been lurking on this board for quite some time , and I have learned so much . I have tried to quit so many times and failed just as many times . But thanks to this site, I am ready . I have so many reasons to quit and stay quit , but it is always been so difficult and I cave so easy . The things that I have learned from this site are things I never realized before . One of the biggest things I have learned is to look at quitting smoking and staying quit being a huge positive, way more than it is a negative .Looking at the whole picture of quitting, it is not what I can't do, but I don't have to do! I have loved reading all the success stories and how good life can be without smoking . I have read on other websites in the past and honestly , they would doom and gloom and depressing . All about how hard it is and the struggles . I know it will be hard and there will be struggles of course but this site points out the positive and is so encouraging and uplifting .
My quit is tomorrow I really feel like I am ready . I will be waking up in a different place as we will be gone for the weekend and my normal surroundings and routine won't be there . And when I do come home Sunday I have all my ammo from reading here . I have a whole pile of distractions and ideas of things to do and healthy snacks to eat . But mostly and most importantly I have a whole different outlook on quitting now and I am actually looking forward to it . I cannot even begin to explain how this site has changed my way of thinking about the whole process! Thank you to everyone who contributes here it has made such a difference for me and I will continue to come here all the time !
