Hello,my name is Dorothy,I'm 53 I've been smoking since I was 16-17 to darn long I started out smoking about a half a pack a day.went to a full, And now I've been smoking almost 2 packs a day for about few Months now. I have had a scare with a nodule on my lung but it didn't do anything Thank God. You would think that would scare me enough to quit. But nope.I get so mad at myself but keep puffing. I'm glad I found this site I'm really praying I can beat this with all the tools and great advice. I'm ready.

Willingness, not Willpower.

Accept the fact you are quitting and you won't be fighting with yourself.

Start the self talk.

Whenever you think of smoking, say, I'm going to wait a little longer.

Don't deny yourself. Don't count.

No pressure, no negativity.

It will break the pattern and prove you don't need to smoke just because you thought you did,

Welcome to the community. Your prayers are being answered you have come to the right place for support to quit smoking.  Now it going to take some work.  Quitting isn't easy but doable.  You have to be willing to go through whatever is necessary not to take a puff.  NOPE.  Making a commitment, and keeping that commitment to yourself will work wonders.  Make a vow never to ever touch a cigarette ever again.  Educate yourself about nicotine addiction and what is happening to your body.  Make a plan for how you are going to go about your quit. Come here often read the blogs and make comments. You can do this so many of us have. Welcome EX  You can do all thing through Christ who strengthens us. Know you just have to be willing.  My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX

Welcome to the Ex.  Glad you're here with a quit date in sight.  In the meantime, educate yourself about nicotine addiction and have your plan in place.  Preparation is the key to success.  Many of us have had scares or seen others suffer the consequences of smoking, but continued to smoke.  It' a serious addiction, so don't feel bad about that.  Leave the past behind and look forward to a healthier you.  We'll be celebrating your quit date on the 30th.  Stay close and reach out if you need help.
