At 2:24 pm today I used tobacco for the last time. I know I have said this hundreds (maybe thousands?) of times before, but that was to myself. I have been a closet tobacco user (cigarettes, chew) for many years and and all of my quit attempts have been without support. Now I have found a place where I can go for help. I look forward to being a regular here and being part of a collective journey to be tobacco-free for good.
I know I have a lot of work to do to beat this thing. I have probably tried to quit at least 50 times this year alone and I don't think I've made it past 10 days. I need to put an end to this cycle. It has been going on for years and has really had an impact on my health, especially my mental health. No more suffering in silence.
