Reciprocity

I think you will find a support group who really understand exactly what you are going through is a great asset to you in your effort to break free of this addiction. Knowledge and support are key components to not only quitting but most importantly ..... staying quit!

^^^ I could tell you a story about that but it would sound super creepy ....... even tho it isn't

Trying to figure out if I'm a betweenie or an Olde Pharte. Kind of hoping for betweenie because that sounds way cooler

Hi Kall and welcome to our family I say family because we are all nicotine addicts just like you! Regardless of our individual personalities we all have the ability to quit smoking and finally say NO to this slavery that is nicotine addiction. It is the clear path to longevity in terms of both health and wealth.

We can't change decisions we made in the past. All we can do is make better decisions today and .... you have done that by committing to a smoke free future

Yes, quit now. Why wait? You've done it before so you can do it again. No matter what life throws at us, smoking only makes things worst, not better. Don't delay. Come back to a community of support and make a positive change in your life. Hope to see you around soon

I'm sorry to hear all the struggles you are facing. I am glad you got through this because of what you know in your heart about this addiction and from the support of those you know from this board. Good call on posting here! I am also super impressed that so many peeps you know from your time on this board came running to your side in your moment of frustration and doubt - damn this is such an awesome place

If the Step #1 patches are a problem maybe try to go back to the place you got them and discuss with them? They may have some suggestions for you including advise about starting with a lower dose patch. Just a suggestion.

A toast to your 7th month smoke free Christa! Congratulations

Keep a list of all the reasons you want to quit close to you all the time Lilly. On your phone or written on paper so you can pull that out and read them any time you have a smoking thought. Focusing on all the positives your are gaining by quitting and knowing that the only reason you don't already have those things is because of smoking might just help you readjust your thinking more quickly. See the positives - not the negatives

Hi Jeana and welcome to Quit Train Glad to hear you have decided to take back your life by quitting this horrible addiction. The benefits you will receive from doing this are more than you imagine at this point. Read all you can about this addiction here.

We have ALL been through it and can maybe give you some good suggestions for meeting those early challenges.. We will support you all the way to freedom!

Muttering NOPE all day long is probably the best thing you can do in the early days of your quit
