Hello everyone. Hope you're all well. I'm announcing my intention to quit smoking today for good and hoping this site will help me through some of the difficult times ahead. I've smoke on and off for thirty years - usually between 3 and 10 every day, with some years off and recently reduced to 3 every day but couldn't sustain that. I feel I've had enough now and want to look to life without smoking. I feel a lot of it is about getting to the things that smoking actually blocks me from feeling or experiencing (some of these things I sense will be challenging - facing boredom etc) but strangely I have begun to see smoking as a block from good things in life - increased involvement with people, increased things to do in my free time. I think this 'grabbing life' is what frightens me most and why I smoke -smoke just puts a smokescreen around it all so I don't have to know what I'm missing - maybe this sounds odd but maybe some of you get it? Anyway, here goes... it's time to live more!
