Glad to have you with us, @darcy. Thanks so much for posting. I, too, was reluctant/terrified to quit: Afraid of failing (again). Afraid of what life would be like without smoking to "soothe" me. Afraid that I'd never be happy again without cigarettes. Afraid of withdrawal. 11 months later I can tell you this: Life without the draining cognitive dissonance of loving/hating smoking is more liberating than I ever imagined it could be. A lot of my ideas about how smoking "soothed" me were horse hockey, just my addiction making noise. Just like this post says: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/11789-nicodemons-lies-lies-truths/ I felt a lot better after I was fully free of nicotine. Withdrawal definitely sucks, no two ways about it. But it's temporary. If you're able to swim over 100 miles per year (wow), you have the grit to get through many difficulties. Quitting IS possible. And there is a posse of good people here to help. Just let go and fall... up.

“One day at a time” was the perfect message for me this morning… thanks. Hang in there.

So sorry to hear of your loss, @WeegieWoman. It’s great that you are staying strong in your quit, regardless. Take good care of yourself and your fur babies.
