Hi Ex's,
I'm Amy. I'm 2 weeks from my quit date and am preparing by monitoring my triggers and cigarettes, finding and preparing a fitness program, and planning a two-week hike staring on my quit date to start off strong.
I'd love to hear for others who are heading down the same path...
Blessings,
DS
Hi Amy! My quit date is 2 weeks from today, so only a couple days after you! I like the idea of monitoring triggers. I'm planning on finding some patches and lozenges to maybe try and wean off before my quit date.
What matters is that you pick yourself and get right back on it! You got this!

@Caridad Happy to hear you haven't given up. Have you been reading material on the site? There are lots of suggestions to deal with physical and psychological triggers. A tool that worked for many quitters is exercise, especially walking. When craving hit, I would just walk out the door and go for a few blocks through the day. It's a great way to refocus your thoughts and get the added boost of dopamine lost from quitting.
