Back to quitting and using Smoking app as motivation

[sabaka3434]

I quit smoking cold turkey last year and used a quit smoking app- was motivation to see every day how things in my body were going back to normal, and how much money I was saving every day/week/year!  Pushed me to keep going.  Got depressed and started again😬😬. Quitting for good Feb 14!  App is downloaded and ready.  I’ll be here for help a lot!!!!

What else other than stats did the app provide that motivated you? Did it educate you about addiction and provide ideas on getting through cravings?

Has a spot to put your triggers so you know what to watch for and can track.

also a Facebook page/group- kind of like this I would guess- just support.  I joined as there may be new ideas/suggestions to help.

@sabaka3434 Welcome to the Ex.  Glad you found us.  Have you done the education about nicotine addiction?   How about a quit plan with the tools you'll use to succeed and the new associations you'll create instead of smoking?    Knowledge and preparation made the difference for me.

I quit for a year and then injured my back - I got so depressed and was in so much pain - I took a drag off my nephews cig.  Then I bummed one before you knew it I was smoking again. I felt guilty for starting again but I didn’t try to quit again now it’s 2 years later . I’m back on here trying again! My biggest fear is failing again and disappointing everyone again.

it’s crazy that I afraid to quit but I’m also afraid of what I’m doing to my health when I smoke !
