   Hey I'm new here I have never done the smoke helpline before and not sure how much it helps.i won't lie I havnt quit yet but I hope I bought my last can of tobacco and have been reading all the steps. 
    I will admit I'm scared but I do wanna quit, maybe I'm jut making excuses I don't know but nervous of the stress and the fact my wife sometimes smoke when drinking. That's how I spiraled last time I quit 8 years ago when my eldest child was born. But now that my third is here I thibk I need to try again so I can watch them grow into adulthood. Anyways wish me luck and any advice is appreciated still on the fence on how to go about it I've done cold turkey before don't remwber it well and I've done the patch so we I'll see.

   Hi Shawnarsen, 
   
   Welcome to Smokers' Helpline! It's great to have you here. 
   
   Quitting smoking is a big change and can often feel scary. But you have some really important reasons for doing this. 
   
   How did you find the patch worked for you in the past? Do you think it's something that you would like to try again?
   
   Emily
