Cigarettes are not your friends...although you and I and all believed this for so many years...this is a great “goodbye letter” to cigarettes....https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/people/amiray39/blog/2019/03/09/dear-cigarettes?sr=search&searchI... 

Most of us smoked through our feelings, emotions and life...it is time to learn how to live on life’s terms...one step at a time...be sure to read blogs here at the support site and participate...also here is 

a list of things to do instead of smoking.../blogs/Youngatheart.7.4.12-blog/2013/02/25/100-things-to-do-instead-of-smoke?sr=search&searchId=78b7... 

Heidigar This isn’t easy, it takes hard work...but eventually it gets better and better...Happy Saturday ~ Colleen 278 DOF

Welcome to EX, we are all here to help you in any way that we can.  We all started at the same beginning, some in more abrupt ways than others.  The biggest keys to success are education about this addiction, support from people who know exactly what you are going through, and your own commitment not to smoke, NO MATTER WHAT.  I came here every morning and every evening and after over 5 1/2 years, I am still coming here to get and to give support.  This is the best site I know of to help with quitting.
