2019 is your Quit Year! Happy New You Year & Welcome!

[Lust4Life]

Might be TLTR for some: 

 

Big Quit Day for so many.  Congratulations for resolving to quit this nasty addiction!  The first few days & weeks might be easy or horrific.  If your chosen Quit method looks like it might fail- choose another. That is, if cold turkey ain’t cuttin’ it- chew some nico - gum or suck on a lozenge. Slap a patch on if needed. Talk to your doc & get some meds. 

 

Your Quit is your quit. Own it. Protect it. Do it & be done with it. 

 

You will find support here.  

 

Do not smoke today. Wake up tomorrow and do the same.  Wake up the next day and do the same.

 

One minute at a time will become one hour that will become one day that will become one week that will become one month...

 

Take it one day at a time.  Wake up declaring you won’t smoke this day.  Go to bed screaming “ heck yeah, I didn’t smoke today!”

 

Wake up. Repeat.

 

You can do this.  It SUCKS and that’s OK.  

 

Your will to be healthier for yourself, your spouse, your child(ren), your wallet... 

 

IS stronger than your addiction! 

 

Let those reasons fuel the fight. 

 

Happy New Year!

"Happy New You Year"

LOVE this, great post lust 

 

So many great points above, I was glued to the board everyday all day my first year. Reading, supporting, celebrating or just playing games really helped keep my mind off my misery. Use the boards and us as needed. Post an SOS if you feel yourself in danger of caving to a crave. Remind yourself everyday how glad you are to be past it and that you never want to have to repeat it. Also consider getting yourself a ticker for your signature. It's a great way to watch the money, time and cigarettes not smoked add up. Super inspiring

Remember you have years of successful quitters on your side and here for you as needed or wanted. We know what you're going through because we've been through it too
