Give and get support around quitting
Quit date: set
I'm nervous and anxious. Just joined up for a personal trainer since I havent exercised in a long time. The commitment is huge. Big life style changes! Trying to breathe and not think of it as a deprivation, but a choice and celebration! New to this site as well. Thanks for listening!
Howdy. Welcome!
Trying... not think of it as a deprivation, but a choice and celebration! Great attitude with which to begin this journey! Keep it. It will take you far down a much happier experiential road. And starting up exercise again with a personal trainer is a GREAT idea. Exercise helps to replace the endorphins we got from smoking.
