Well, here I am trying to quit again. I am sure that everyone that comes across this has been through a lot in regards to trying to quit smoking. It seems like almost an impossible feat however, I am going to keep trying until I am met with success and I can be without a cigarette forever. My quit date is in two weeks, so I have time to prepare. However, I did try quitting about a week ago because I was part of another anti-smoking program however, it just did not seem to suit me. There was no big community, not that I researched a lot, but it just felt generic an bland. I did like the calculator on your savings and what not as well as the online badges for different milestones but as I said, it felt more generic and bland.
So today, I was looking into more anti smoking online communities and what not and I stumbled upon this one. I like how when I first signed up, I already had someone welcome me and encourage me, and that makes me feel more welcome and more eager to reach out when I am having cravings and dealing with withdrawal symptoms. I really hope that I can make a lot of contacts as well as hear others peoples perspectives, opinions, and stories of how they were a smoker or how the quitting is going. I hope it is met with success. One of the biggest reasons in fact, that I started a relaspse again, was that although I am trying to quit, and although some people may joke in my life, about how "oh you are quittng again', or "or I know you're going to smoke I know it", or "Are you sure you quit for all those days", and "I am counting my cigarettes just in case" and I could be a very rigid person in certain situations but to me, it's a little annoying. Myself I have tried to quit so many times, and what not but right now at least during the beginning I need support not side remarks of humour, I wonder if anyone else has gotten that?
Anyway, as I said my quit date is in two weeks. I am looking forward to working on my tirggers and my biggest one which is being bored. But regardless, I am off to do the housework. Housework believe it or not, helps me not smoke.
