Nervous about starting school

Some good advice here, with which I agree completely. It's said you have to experience all the seasons as a non smoker to get through them without being so stressed. Same goes for your personal experiences. School. Work. Weddings. Funerals. Hospital visits. Graduation parties. Birthdays. Vacations. I could go on forever.

Try to find a new routine for what was an easy situation. I remember feeling as if I'd never in a million years find something to fill the time that I used to spend smoking. Now there's not enough hours in a day.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Sydney, you have been practicing and training for the past month how to divert your attention away for the lure. Continue to practice what has worked...and keep your positive attitude.... YOU are in charge of you. Look for other diversions to the 'smoker's corner'. Go for a walk the other way. Stay inside (where its warm), enjoy a bottle of water. Socialize with a non-smoker that you didn't know beforehand.

You live in a new world now. Explore what you have been missing. Enjoy!

Keep the Quit,

Dave

Hi Sydney,

The best advise I have is keep the words NOPE close to your lips. Take each circumstance as it comes as it is best to handle one at a time.

Remember stoping is do-able. Keep lots of ice water nearby, slow deep breaths and spend time reading the old threads. It's not always easy, but Syd--it is so worth it. My only regret is that I didn't try when I was younger. (Your age is a great time to quit!).

You can do this--remember most smokers wish they were quit!!!

Stay close and keep us posted,

Deb

The important thing is that you have identified your triggers. This can help you mentally and physically prepare for them and it will make it easier as preparation is beneficial to your journey.

So I start school on Wed and I am kind of nervous about it because I have had alot of free time and not alot of stress and I have been hanging out with alot of non smokers. When I went to my orientation for school, its a small class there was alot of smokers and I kind of felt left out when they all went outside for a smoke. I stayed inside myself.

I relapsed before when I moved in with a bunch of smokers. I know it's not an excuse to go back to smoking but I am a bit worried. I will take things as they go and bring some old things I used at the beginning if I need to use them. Unfortunately I am still mouring smoking a bit. I don't really crave it but I seem to still have a bit of an illusion that it made things better or improved things.
