No reason you can't start it today.  We can help.  Tell us a little about yourself, why you want to quit, etc.

Several of the elders here can give you some reading for beginners to this site.  I highly recommend reading it all.  It might seem daunting at first.  But take your time and research as much as you can.  And come here often to post your fears, your venting, your concerns, and your cheering on of others just now quitting.

Missing your quit date gives you time to prepare!!!  Get ready and.......GO!

​There is a great blog out there for our new quitters.  https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/ . You may also want to check out posts in https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/ .  We are here to help you on this journey to freedom!  


​I know when I first found this site, many Elders told me to read read read….and I did.  Elders are those with one or more years of being quit.  If you like what someone has to say, then you may want to read their blogs.  I have some listed below.   A list of our Elders  https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/Giulia-blog/2017/06/18/elders-list-ao-december-7-2016   So here's the thing.....and you may not like what I am about to say....and that's ok.  I get it.  You need to accept that this is an addiction.  Before you do that, it will be much more difficult to quit and stay quit.    Read read read.  Do the steps to PREPARE yourself to quit.  Do the steps so you are PREPARED on quit day and for the days AFTER quit day.     Some of the things I read in my first few days that helped me:

JACKIE1-25-15 gave me the link to Alan Carr’s book, “Easy Way to Quit Smoking”.  I actually didn’t read the online PDF, but purchased a book on CD from Amazon and listened to it in my car over and over again for the first two weeks of my quit.  

  Keep this site close and keep posting and asking for help.  You will get it.  You will get things you like and things you don't like, but don't give up!!!  We have been through similar experiences and can share our strength and hope.  We are here to support you!

Majig1973  Do me a big favor, and post some more about yourself, your quit, or repost this news on either a Blog Post or a Discussion.  You will get noticed by a lot more people that way, and get more helpful responses.  Let me know if you need help navigating to either.  I'm so excited for you!
