You guys really are amazing! Thank you for checking on me! I didn’t expect to get this kind of support from people I have never met. I’m not even getting it from people I do know! I hope you all have a great day!

Getting there- thank you all for being there 😊

Thank you so much! Going for a walk would normally work, but in this office I would have to walk around all the smokers. But I walked around the inside of the office and got some water.

Thank you!! I hadn’t thought of the straws- that is a great idea! 😊

Hi! I quit 8 days ago and I have been mostly ok. But I am having a strep day, forgot my chopped celery to snack on and I am on an office where I know there are a bunch of smokers. Usually I am the only one- but there are a bunch of people here who I could easily get one from. Ugh!!! I have tried deep breathing, having a mint (no nicotine replacement), I even looked at pictures of black lungs online. Still want one. This is the most I have been hit with this. Wow- it super sucks.

Hi! I’m Grace! I know it’s time to quit. I’m starting the video and reading a bunch of your the posts. I started smoking at 15, stopped for three years after I had my kids and then restarted. I also quit for 2 months at the start of Covid, but caved. I’m 47 now so it is time! I’ve been saying I’ll quit when things calm down in my life- but there is always something. I am so sick of feeling so tired, I’ve gained all the weight back that I had lost and I’m worried about my health. I just found out a friend of mine has early stage lung cancer, and while she was telling me I could hear her smoking on the phone. I have overcome other addictions, but this one has a firm grasp on me. I think if I can get through a few of the videos and start the Carr book it will get me to my quit date. Thanks for being here!
