Today is the day

I’ve decided to quit today after my last two cigarettes. Been listening to Allen Carrs book which gave me 4 months smoke free four years ago. Just turned 30 a month ago and been smoking for half my life. Only thing I dread is going to bars where smoking is allowed, because I love those places but being there without smoking is hard.

Congratulations!! It will be the best thing you ever do, yes it will be hard but you are so much stronger than a stinky cigarette! Take it easy on yourself, plenty of water and rest! Let your loved ones know you might be a bit snappier then usual and work on catching yourself before it escalates! Use this subreddit as much as you need! 8 months smoke free here after reading the Alan Carr method and relying on this subreddit! You've got this!

I firmly believe that if I could quit, anyone can. Don’t be too hard on yourself and always wait when the cravings hit, because they will pass. You can do this and you will be happy you did.
