My quit date is getting close and I am so nervous that I will fail at this again. I quit last year in September and started back in January during a crisis in my family then this quarantine I just ended up smoking more. So here I am again I am glad to have found this group and thank you for all of your support..

Congratulations on making the decision to quit smoking. You have come to the right place for support. . Education is the key to successfully quit. Read, Study, Blog and be willing to do the work. With the help of the EX Community you can have a forever quit. Start by educating yourself about the addiction to nicotine. Know the LAW! Go to My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX and review the videos and learn more about your triggers and how to prepare when the urges come
I was advised to read Allen Carr's Easyway to Quit Smoking which can be found on pdf on the web. Another good site to get info which was very helpful to me More info is available at this site www.whyquit.com. There are several articles to read. Nicotine 101 and FreedomFrom Nicotine My Journey Home. To get help on navigating this site go to. Community Help. The main thing is to stay close. Come here first before you light up. Talk about it. We will help. FYI When you write it would get more visibility in conversations, questions, or a blog as opposed to your status updates. Which is more of a thread that is not visible very long.
Welcome to the Ex and congrats on your decision to quit. Being nervous is normal. We've smoked through every life event and emotion. Use this time to educate yourself about nicotine addiction and create a quit plan These two steps make all the difference and give you the confidence you need to be successful. You can do this if you approach it one day at a time. Check in on your quit date so we can celebrate the day! Reach out anytime you need encouragement. Barb
