A goodbye letter to the lil niccy sticcy

I can’t even write the first sentence of this damn letter without having to take a hit from you. You or cigarettes been my adult pacifier for almost 10 years! I’m tired of hiding behind you! I’m tired of constantly sneaking a puff from you at work from your spot in my bra! Yuck! Get out of there! I can’t wait to not taste you on my breath every second of the day. You have no place in my life, my wallet, or my relationships. You’re done being another reason I hate myself. I am stronger than you are. I don’t need you to anxiously fidget with. Goodbye.

@bex3020 Welcome to the Ex and congrats on your upcoming quit.  You found the right place for information, advice, and support.  Prepare for your journey by learning about nicotine addiction and putting a quit plan in place.  This link has some great information to get you started on the right track.https://www.becomeanex.org/guides/?cid=footer_community_linktobex

The support I found here made all the difference for my success after 50 years of smoking and many unsuccessful attempts.  Knowledge and preparation also played a major role in finally becoming an ex.

Join many of us on the Daily Pledge to stay on track one day at a time.

So glad you found us.  Reach out anytime you need help or want to share your experience. We're here cheering you on.

Stay busy and stay close.

Barb
