Tomorrow it begins.

Hello Everyone! 

 

I have been smoking a pack a day for 4-5 years. This is not my first time trying to quit smoking, but this time I decided to finally do it. I am looking for a place to vent and for some sort of support. I will post in here most likely once or twice a day telling ya'll about how I want to smash something or punch a wall So starting tomorrow (09.24) I will not start my day by puffing on a cigarette. I can already feel how hard it is going to be, but I'm ready. Here it goes!

Welcome aboard Unguided.

 

There will be challenges along the way when you quit.  However, I found that the actual quit wasn't as bad as the anxiety I had right before I quit.

 

Don't exhaust yourself with worry leading up to the quit.

 

You are on the path to setting yourself free.  Enjoy the ride.

Welcome to our train full of quitters unguided. Great decision you've made to stop smoking

Don't worry Unguided.  We will guide you through.  You are so smart to quit after only smoking 4 to 5 years.  Many of us have smoked a lifetime.  

You only experience a couple of difficult weeks and then it is a matter of changing your thinking.  You can do this.  Educate yourself, stay close to the forum and we are here for you.

You can do this!

Ha, people do become more annoying when you give up. The first thing I noticed when I quit was how much more energy I had after a few days. Hang in there with us, you can do it.
