I WANNA BREAK FREE

[K. Lou]

I keep trying to quit and keep failing. 

I cannot pass the two week mark. 

I start my quit really excited every time. 

 

I am all out of excuses. I cannot keep quitting and relapsing.

 

My real problem is not the cravings and urges but the feeling of panic I get every time I think I'm no longer gonna smoke. 

 

I know this is not the right attitude, but I cannot help it. 

 

Anyways, this is my new quit date, I have one last cigarette at home waiting for me after I finish work and then that's it.

If that cigarette is waiting for you now...it'll always be waiting for you.

I've got wonderful news for you....you CAN break free....

All you need is the desire to quit more than you want to smoke...

Read all you can....understand this addiction...read why the big tabacco company,s keep introducing new things in smokes to keep you hooked....get angry with them...they want your hard earned money....for all your life...and a lot of lives are cut short....

Take your seat on the train....and go all the way to freedom...

You can do this.

Easy Peasy

Sounds like right at about the 2 week mark ... the "high" of your quit is wearing off and the panic is setting in.

 

Why panic?  Why not excitement of knowing that you do not have to worry about smoking anymore.

 

Get your mind right.  Give yourself no other option.

 

and don't smoke that ciggie at home...that will be your first "win" in this, your final quit.

So I started my day smoke free. I am at work right now. I don't smoke at work so no triggers for me there.

Thank you all for your support!

You're welcome wannabreakfree. Hey, I just re-read this thread, and I want to address this:

 

My real problem is not the cravings and urges but the feeling of panic I get every time I think I'm no longer gonna smoke. 

 

It took me 6 months quit until I could face the idea that I would never smoke again. Up until that point, I kept my head down and never dared lift my eyes to the horizon. Know what? It worked. Some people whisper an amendment to their NOPE - Not One Puff Ever (just for today). Know what else? They're still quit too.

 

Oh, I see Doreen just said what I was saying before I said it.

 

Lovely.

Hiya, how's it going now? I too couldn't face the never thoughts, I literally pushed them out of my mind and just woke each day resolved not to smoke that day. x
