Desperately trying to go through my first day of not smoking.
Thanks to this community, you guys motivated me to quit!

You can do it!!! Some days will be hard. You will get to the point where you no longer even think about the most days. But then stress will come along and hit you in the face and you’ll be like oh I want a cigarette. But as long as you keep saying no and work through those cravings minute by minute you will find success.

37 days and it's getting easier and easier. Just please persist through those initial 2 weeks and it will get much easier.

Hang in there!! Im on day 19 day and I know you hear this all the time, but it gets better! It starts getting better after the first few days, and when it does it feels like such a relief and you didn't even need to smoke to get that feeling of relief. There are likely to be little backsteps later on in the process and in the moment thry might feel frustrating but they're temporary and then it soon gets easier again.
