CD - welcome...
Let me first say that being around people who will support your Quit is so very important... Not sure why your friend said what they did, so let that go... really let it go.
Your Quit is yours - OWN IT, and protect it w/all you have at all times. One thing that helped me so much is realizing that my Quit, especially at first, is like a newborn baby - it has be held up high when there is danger, it has to be protected from ANY kind of threat or danger... And protect it from anyone or anything that is negative...
So w/your friend's comment gone now :) this is a new day - focus on you, on your Quit, on the reasons you decided it's time to Quit. The day to Quit is the day your're ready to Quit. Period...
This addiction is nasty, it's powerful, it's frightening how it has a hold on ut, but that hold dissolves once we focus and make the decision that we are taking our power back!
So - one moment at a time, you can do this - it matters not what day it is, what matters is that YOU are ready, grounded and focused in your Quit.
Stay close to this site and read new and old posts - there is amazing direction and info here, and post and ask for help when you need it.
There is one way to stop smoking around here - it's called N.O.P.E. (not one puff ever)... I mean EVER...
Make a promise to yourself - that if and when you want to light up -YOU COME HERE FIRST AND ASK FOR SUPPORT and wait for 5 people to answer:)
Blessings and congratulations on your decision to freedom!
