Well guys, I finally did it. I went and bought nicotine patches.
spoiler
Reasons for quitting:*I want to start jogging - can't do that on the gaspers.
*We're going to Japan this year - can't do that on the gaspers.
*I know once I've quitting my man will follow - I want to be the good influencer for once instead of the other way around.
*I love a competition - He is now in a competition he doesn't know about yet.
All very valid reasons.
Plan of attack:
*This weekend will be my last hurrah. I may drunk post tomorrow. Probably. Most likely.
*I will do my best to not be a cunt through this process. No guarantees.
I'm gonna cry but I'm good. I'm gonna be such a cunt.
Thank you for reading. โค๏ธ
This is probably a bit left of field as a tip that I personally found helpful (note that I do vape, but with almost no nicotine simply for the hand to mouth habit which I can't break):
So I always carry a box of cigarettes with me wherever I go, having them on me means that I never have that "oh no, I'm out of ciggies. Need buy cigarettes immediately at any cost" feeling and it reminds me not to smoke.
Also know that having a single cigarette isn't game over. You got this!
