New and Slightly Overwhelmed

20200715_050016.jpgGood morning everyone,

My name is Jen.  Some people know me as Jen H. on Quitnet and NOPE365.  I wanted to try this site out because I miss a lot of people from Quitnet, and I also want to continue to build my smober support circle by meeting new people.

It is no secret that I struggle with my nicotine addiction.  My last relapse occurred in early May.  I was sad.  I was angry.  I was hurt.  I was scared.  I was overwhelmed.  My addiction spoke louder than my heart and mind telling me that smoking does more harm than good.

I have nothing to hide, for addiction always seems to reveal itself eventually. No matter how many times I fall, I always get back up.

My June 22 quit date is for my sweet fur baby girl Hannah.  She is my profile picture.  Whenever I get a craving, I will think of her.  I was smoke free when she passed away three years ago that day, but relapsed after I found her.

This site has a lot to offer, which is the reason why I am a little overwhelmed.  I will be off work for vacation August 8 through August 16, so I will have a lot of time to explore. 

If you were on Quitnet, please feel free to reach out and follow me.  If I do not know you, please do the same.  I will follow you all back.

I am looking forward to continuing my smobriety journey with the EXCommunity.

Jen
