    I hear you on the quitting several times. I will be sending you positive vibes. Perhaps this time will be both of our forever quits!

    Hi exsmokersoon,

    Welcome to the group! There are many stories that will certainly encourage you and remind you that you are not alone in this! We have a great community that you can relate to and quit coaches to answer your questions or encourage you.
    Quitting smoking is a process and for many people, it takes many attempts before they quit successfully but each attempt teaches you something... if you can, could you share you have done in the past to quit?
    Like missy05 said, we are all rooting for you.

    Have a great day!

    Hi Exsmokersoon,

    Welcome, glad you joined us.  I think we have all tried and failed lots of times.  Quitting isn't easy.  That is why this site is so important.  If you read the milestones, they will guide you through the process of quitting.  You will learn about avoiding triggers, distracting yourself, and other things to do that will help you in your journey.  I don't know if you plan on using some kind of NRT, but you can also find information about them here as well.

    Try to use your previous attempts as learning experiences, and try not to be discouraged.  You are still trying to quit, and that is the most important thing.  Believe in yourself, you can do this.
