JDK is right. Be positive & honest with yourself in the fact that YOU are the most important person during your quit (& after it for that matter). Train yourself to NOT entertain smoking thoughts, it will eventually become second nature as a non-smoker.
In the grand scheme of things - Stress, boredom, life's 'issues' & especially other peoples problems are insignificant, they simply exist to help us grow as individuals.
So, i hereby give you permission to pay no attention to 'toxic' people, be selfish, indulgent & self absorbed because it honestly doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Spoil yourself rotten & indulge in those things you've secretly wanted because you've only got the one life, so you may as well start living it.
On the other hand .........
If you want to remain a smoker, please disregard the above & DO NOTHING !.

Thank you deeply for making this post. It is genuinely kind and thoughtful of you to encourage others in this way. I hope that your post encourages new members to stick with their quit and fight through the hard times.
Just thought I would send a little positivity the way of newbie quitters. Anyone and everyone can quit smoking. Even the hardened 100 a day peeps. If the patches didn't work, try something else. If you're getting too down, take a break (a couple of weeks for instance). Come back and try something different later. You will secretly be building your resolve.
The person who quits successfully first time and the person who quits successfully the 1000th time are both the same, they are both successful quitters.
Good luck and may you succeed.
