Quitting tomorrow!!

[Lindaf71]

hi everyone. I just found out yesterday I have Reinke’s Edema. it’s swelling of the vocal cords and mild right now but can get worse. So I MUST quit. Will begin tomorrow. I bought patches. I’m so afraid I won’t be able to do it. But, I know I must and have to be able to do it.

@Lindaf71 Welcome to the Ex and congrats on your quit day.  I'm glad you found us.  Fear of quitting is normal. After all, we smoked our way through every activity and emotion, good or bad.  If you approach you quit one day at a time it will help to alleviate the fear.

If you haven't done so already, educating yourself about nicotine addiction and having a quit plan has led to success for many quitters.  This link is a great place to start.

Quitting is the best thing your can do for your health and certainly for vocal chords.  Do this for yourself and don't let yourself be overwhelmed thinking about forever.   Being successful today will build  your confidence.

We're here to support you, so reach out anytime we can help, you want to share your experience, or to support your fellow quitters.

Taking the Daily Pledge is a great way to stay on track one day at a time

@Lindaf71 @laurenewarner92 Welcome to Ex. If you are willing to do the work for your quit you will be successful. I came here 4 months ago and I was able to quit! Consider going to the journals/blogs area and introducing yourself, why you want to quit, and any NRT you will be using. You'll find a great community. I'm no techie but I think you can find the Daily Pledge by going to

Main menu, Celebrations and Events, Daily Pledge May. Click the last of the numbered pages to bring you to the current days pledge. Best of success with your quit.
