Welcome to Become An EX
My quit date was to be this Saturday, but I decided today that enough was enough and threw my half pack of cigs & lighter in a garbage can at a store. No going back for them, no hiding them, no more making it just plain uneasy. I can't believe that one, two or no more than 3 cigs a day could have such an impact on life. Especially after I quit a one to two PACK a day habit over 2.5 yrs ago.
Now the real fun begins.... I have decided to wash my jackets, etc. so that they smeill good.
I'm taking it one second at a time right now.
God Be With All Of YOU....

Good job if you have decided no more why even smoke another and take more minutes off your presious life. May God Bless You also. Just get educated and read all you can about this assiction so you will be ready for all the traps that it sets up for you to fail. Stay trong and come here for support and to vent if you need to. My thoughts are with your success!!Believe you can and you will.

Hooray! We are all here and pulling for you. I spent a fortune at the dry cleaners and washing stuff the first week. It gives you something to do and also gets the smell out of your spaces. One second at a time works and soon it will be minutes then hours then....well, I'm not there yet, but I hear tell that you really can go for days without thinking about smoking.

Good for you. I think really grabbing the bull by the horns and owning your quit the way you did is a real psychological advantage over waiting 'til you run out and have to finally quit. There's a real sense of empowerment that comes from throwing the suckers in the garbage can and walking away. I know it sounds like a little thing, but I'm convinced that the mindset is huge in escaping from this damn addiction.

Awesome. Way to go. I did the same thing. I threw my cigarettes in the dumpster where I couldn't reach them. That's a giant step you took. Now you can move forward to all the rewards and freedom being a non-smoker will give you.
