Thank you Barb, I'm Deborah. I will continue to read, thanks for the suggestion. This will be my forever quit, I feel it even though it's been hard. I keep telling myself I'm an ex smoker.

Welcome to Ex You have come to the right place for support to quit smoking. Education is the main key to a successful quit.  Start first by educating yourself on the addiction to nicotine.  It is advisable to read Allen Carr's Easyway to Quit Smoking which can be found on pdf on the web.  Another good site to get info is www.whyquit.com.  There are several articles to read.  Nicotine 101 and Freedom From Nicotine My Journey Home.  If you are ready quit that is great. Quitting takes planning and preparation go to EX Plan | BecomeAnEX  to decide how you are going to go about quitting. To get help on navigating the site go to. Community He My lp.  Again Welcome, there is more to come.  If you have any questions you can do a search with the magnifying glass and type any keywords for research on a topic.  If you have any questions just ask and give us the opportunity to respond.  We are here for you.
