During my 52 Smoking career.... I have tried to Quit far too many times to count ....tried every method known to man .... Now I have a strong quit behind me ..I know why it didn't happen .....for a few reasons ... 1... Fear ....couldn't imagine a life without my crutch 2....I never committed to it 💯..... 3.... I did it alone ..... It took a group of quitters who knew what I was going through to help me through all these obstacles.... I met the most wonderful up friends ....who had my back and I had Thiers .... They showed me the way ....they took away my fear ...they helped me commit .... Everyone's quit is different ...as we are all different .... If your lurking ...it means you deep down want to Quit ....whether you jump on and take a seat or you are Reading and learning about this horrible addiction ... The important thing is ...Life Is so much better when you free yourself from the Nicotine Prison .... Believe in yourself .....you can be free ....you just have to want it badly enough ...🐸

Fear .... Many smokers are frightened they won't be able to have a life without thier cigerette,s.... For me the Fear of carrying on smoking outweighed the Fear of Quitting ... I read for a day what the old members had to say ....and how easier it was to Quit than they imagined .. Our brains are our worst enemies...... Once I rid myself of the fear ...and knew I was giving up nothing ...it became clearer .... I stay to help those who come after me ....and hopefully show them the way out of the Nicotine Trap .!!!!!

Aww Jill Sweetheart ...OUCH !!!!!! Poor you .... Sorry this has happened .....it will be tender for a while ...Hugs ❤❤

Hope your fur friend makes a speedy recovery Kate ..... Well done for staying strong ....❤

It's fairly easy for me @Katgirl..... I haven't got a sweet tooth ....I'm sure you have noticed sausages are my pleasure ... but I do restrict how many I eat ....

Enjoy every second you have her Linda .❤️

Fckuety fcku.....4am ...Stolen car speeding ...smacked into the back of my Neighbour's Car ...And sent it flying into my front garden ... demolishing all my wall and fence .... Sounded like a bomb had gone off ...lucky it never exploded .... So. Had little sleep ...most of the street cam to my aid ..armed with brushes and shovels ...and help me clean all the area once the cars had been taken away ... Me and next door are totally shock ....it almost landed in my living room ....🙁🙁🙁

Your weight will stable Linda .... Around my year mark ....I started to put more effort into losing those extra pounds than my quit .. This is why we say Quitting is a journey .... Your still at the stage where your quit is more important .... concentrate on this for now .... Just try and snack on healthy things ...and yes walking ....
