I just got off the phone with a counselor. My new quit date is Thursday. I just joined this forum for some support. Wish me luck.

Best wishes that today goes well for you. Hang in there. It's hard, but it really is worth it.

I am on my 2nd day now. I relapsed a couple of times. Just gotta take it one day at a time.

That's ok. As long as you pick up yourself again and start all over.
I can't even begin to tell you how many times I quit over and over! But, it's now One year, nine months, six days, 14 hours, 50 minutes and 7 seconds nicotine free. That's all one day at a time.
And it makes 25784 cigarettes not smoked, saving $7,090.34. Life saved: 12 weeks, 5 days, 12 hours, 40 minutes.

You can do it too.
We're here for you.
Come join our daily check in thread. It helps to be held accountable!

Shalom!

grrlacher,

Boy, I can't even begin to tell you how many times I tried quiting too. I pray that this is my last time!!! I'm nearing 1 1/2 years now without a cigarette...I'm amazed every day that this addiction is NOT running rampant, not running my life anymore!! I am so grateful.

Just keep trying. One day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time, one second at a time. Whatever it takes...we're here for you. Make sure you get some phone support too. My mom and my AA sponsor have been very helpful in helping me deal with the "new stress" of not smoking...I mean, how do YOU deal with stress, if you don't smoke?!?!?! Took me quite a bit of time to find out....

Blessings....and just one craving at a time...you can do it,
Jen
