Give and get support around quitting
Hello I’m new to this my name is sandy I’m ready to quit smoking my last cigarette was this morning at 7am any one willing to help thank you sandy
Lots of help and support available here Sandy. Welcome to Ex!
It's not easy - I will not lie to you but it is definitely doable - just look at The Elders List - lots of hard work went into this list compliments of Giulia and smorgy8513 but more importantly lots of work and preparation and dedication went into each of these people's quits.
Best wishes to you!
Hi Sandy. Welcome. I find it fascinating that your on-line avatar name is joann but your real name is Sandy. lol
So you've now been quit for 12 hours. YAY!!!! Tomorrow morning you'll have one day under your belt. That's how we do this quitting thing - one day at a time. Take it in baby steps. Jennifer has already given you a whole bunch of good suggestions. Heed them. There are a lot of wise people who have been there and absolutely understand the journey you're on and what it takes. She's one of them. Listen to everyone, but really pay attention to those who have long-term quits for they are the wisest of the wise when it comes to the knowledge about this addiction and how to beat it. We say on here, "take what you like and leave the rest." Some things will not speak to you. Some things will irritate you. THOSE are the ones to pay particular attention to. For it's the things that push our buttons that need the most self-examination. MOO (my opinion only)
Glad you've joined us. Stick around. (And yeah, there are TONS of us willing to help.)
