@roseosborne2015 Good morning.   I saw you took the Daily Pledge today.  That's a great way to stay on track one day at a time.  As I suggested there, please consider creating you own post under Journal/Blog .   Since this was a old post by someone else, I afraid it may go unnoticed.

I'm glad you found us.  Many of us thought we could never do it, but the quitters here are proof it can be done.  

Use this time to education yourself about nicotine addiction and create a quit plan.  Many have found success with knowledge and preparation.   It took me 50 years and many attempts to finally get it. I went into my quits blindly and was never successful.  In addiction to some aids, I found the Ex a week prior to my quit.  For the first time I learned how to quit and had the support that was always lacking.

This link is a great lace to start.

@roseosborne2015 Education is the key to a successful quit.  Relearning your thinking that you do not have to smoke would be a good start. It is false that smoking calms us.  They keep us worked up waiting for the next opportunity to get a fix. It is a process which takes time.  Making a commitment that no matter what is happening in your life that you will not smoke will get you to freedom from the addiction.  Treating quitting as an addiction from a drug, which it is will help.  Keep it simple Revised .
