@pixiedust Thank you!! My friend is doing a little better. I know this pandemic just sucks.

Good luck on your quit!! There are a lot of good people on this forum and they just want to

help win the battle!! I too got a little upset with some comments when I first started my quit

But don't give up!! Take what you like and leave the rest. Hang in the there and good luck.

you’re so kind, thank your! Glad your friend is doing a little better! Will keep them in my prayers. 

hope that your friend is doing okay. this pandemic scares me to death, makes my anxiety worse, you name it. check in often and let us know how you are and your friend, too.

way to go, @Katgirl

thank you everyone.  glad to be here.

i'm a 37 year old female who has been smoking since i was 18 years old. i tried to quit one time before and the longest i lasted was around 34 hours. because i have crippling anxiety, smoking has always helped me. with every thing going on in the world right now, i figured my time has come to try and put the cigarettes down. my biggest hurdle right now is the withdrawal symptoms that comes from putting the cigarettes down for good. i have major health anxiety and have for the past several years. i feel like quitting would trigger me to go into a full fledged panic attack or worse. felt like i should go ahead and join a forum where some may understand where i'm coming from as i try to stand up to this journey.

this was an introduction part of the forum, so wanted to say hello. i do hope everyone is happy, healthy and safe during these crazy times.
