How does this work? Accountability needed

I had my last smoking cessation counseling session this evening. She had to tell me that we are never allowed to speak again. I cried my eyes out. She is wonderful, and has been such a huge help and support for 2 weeks leading up to my quit date, my quit date, and the 3 weeks since. 

I know it is going to be different without having someone to help me, to remind me of why I am doing this, to talk to about cravings, and to cheer me on, so I stumbled upon this site.

I truly want this to be the end of cigarettes for me. I am on the patch, and I am so proud of myself. I'm not sure how this site works yet, but if anyone out there is available to check in with me for accountability, I'd appreciate it.

Hi! I started smoking when I was in Italy in 2003. Everyone was doing it, and it made me feel so cool. I've quit numerous times but never for long. This time is it. I want it to be. I am so over it. I want to respect my body, I want a strong immune system, I don't want to waste time smoking, I don't like the extra stress smoking makes me feel, I don't want to smell, and I'm tired of hiding that dirty habit from so many people. I'm 3 weeks without a cigarette today (5/27/20), and I'm so proud of myself. I wanted a resource I can rely on when I have tough days and temptations, and for sources to continuously educate myself on the health benefits of quitting for reassurance.
