So many quit buddies.....all of em for different reasons.
Many of them 'adopted' me when I was brand new in my quit. They reached out to me, either in a thread or in a private message. They shared their personal experience and strength and gave me hope that I too could quit smoking (When I first signed on to a quit smoking forum, I was still smoking). For some reason, I click with and relate to people who say "Here's what I did....." rather than "Here's what you need to do....."
There is someone here for everyone.
We come in all shapes and sizes, come from different backgrounds and have different philosophies on quitting smoking.
Some quit cold turkey, with or without a quit smoking book, some used a patch or gum, some used Champix or Zyban, Some have tried hypnosis, some have tried a naturopath......the list is endless.
So if you dont have a quit buddy or two.....send someone a message :)
I was given a piece of advice many years ago when dealing with other addictions....
"Find the people who have what you want, and go sit with them"
Im so blessed to have found buddies who are honest, kind, funny and generous that are willing to let me sit with them.
