The End of The Self-Harming Habit begins.

I am done with thought interrupting, smelly, disgusting, and harming substances. I don't think this should be limited to cigarettes but one step at a time. Cigarettes haven't just become an addiction for me, they've become my only resort to any reaction. I can't feel/process my thoughts as I once did, because the only way i've been dealing with anything is running to a cigarette and waiting for the REAL thought to pass. Then I'd have anxiety because I know cigarettes are killing me so why do I smoke them. It's a paradox that I have to break. 

Any advice or stories to help would be greatly appreciated. I know quitting cold-turkey isn't recommended but I will stick to the plan as best as I can and will no longer be buying cigarettes. Also, i'm going to try and radiate this to my entire family (all of them smoke) that I do NOT want to SEE or BE around anyone who smokes. I hope this will help them quit smoking too by seeing the effects it's having on their son. Which in turn could help collaborate into a nice support group that's always been there. But for the initial struggle is getting the smoking out of my mind and retaining peace again.

I'd also like to add I made the name "DaveTheNonSmoker" Because its comforting. When you're around people that smoke all the time, to be a nonsmoker would just be fantastic, so part of my quit plan is thinking of what it will be like to be a non-smoker for real.
