Hi Brian!

 

Welcome to the train!  So glad you found us because we are a great group of non smokers, from newbies like yourself to several who are quit for a decade plus, and everything in between.  My advice that I give to all newbies is to come on here every day and do the daily Nope pledge, which I see you have done already today.  I have been quit for over 2 years and I still do it every day because I find it keeps me focused.  Quitting is not easy, that's for sure, but with support and information you can definitely do it!! Read all you can on here as there is a ton of information and videos.  If you feel you are gonna smoke, there is an SOS section.  Since we are a group from all over the world, there is usually someone on at all times to help you get through it.

 

Good luck to you and I look forward to seeing you on here!  You can do this!!

Hi nice to meet you. This is such a valuable resource. I'll be sure to check in daily.

Don't know your smoking history (ie if you have "tried" to quit before) or anything about you so I can't really offer specific advice for you BUT ... I will say that quitting may not be easy for us but it absolutely IS doable and is worth whatever angst we have to go through to reach our forever smobriety.   Ask questions as needed.  Post to the community & wait for three responses if you feel you are on the verge of smoking.  You can quit & stay quit.   Believe it!  Best Wishes!

Hi Brian and Welcome, it’s good to see you here.

If you stay focussed, stay busy, stay determined, take it a day at a time, and treat yourself weekly or monthly, be active here, post regularly, you can be successful in your quit.

make sure you want this, more than you want to smoke.

all the best …
