I am an addict and have been a selfish coward with my health. I have taken so much for granted and now it is time to be the quit for myself and my family. I am 36 and dipped constantly since 18. Previous to that I smoked from the age of 13. I have been struggling with the finality of quitting vs. the finality of death and have chosen death up to this day. I am now choosing life and to be quit.
Welcome aboard sir! Congratulations on quitting, it is a choice that is almost impossible to succeed at alone - but you are now part of a team of winners. We quit one day at a time here. We give our word first thing when we wake up by posting roll, then we reach out for help if we need it, and we keep our word.
One day at a time is very important. Worrying about decisions a week... a month... a year from now can really be mentally draining. Just focus on winning today my friend. The rest will fall into place.
Nicotine is s wicked monster. The next few days you are likely gonna have emotions and feelings like youÂ’ve never experienced. Remember this...you do NOT need nicotine to survive. It might feel that way, but I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, that is a short term feeling/emotion and is not the new reality. Things will improve, things will, in time, be so much better than before. And freedom is worth the fight.
You can do this. Check your PM in the upper right corner. I quit with you today.
