Give and get support around quitting
Writing a Goodbye Letter to cigarettes, chewing tobacco, vaping is a common theme here on EX. You can read other's letters for inspiration or read a blog from Dr. Hays on how to go about it.
If you haven't written your own and you're starting the quit process, you should probably think about making your own. But you probably want to first read others' letters before you write your own.
Ready to get started? you'll need to be a member of the community so be sure you login and then you can click the link to start your own Goodbye Letter . Be sure you tag the post with "Goodbye Letter" so yours get added to the list
Did you write your letter from a template? If you feel you have a particularly compelling one, share a link to it below in the comments, or share your actual goodbye letter here on EX with a link in the comments.
While you're at it, you'll probably also want to write a letter to loved ones as well to ensure you get support and understanding at home while you go through your quit journey to support a successful quit.
To the tune of Miss American Pie
A long long time ago, I can still remember - how that ciggy used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance, I might finally make a stance, and toss those horrid smellies ..... in a pile
But I was scared and all a'quiver, just the thought would make me shiver
Had to find that first step, had to make a strong prep
I do remember that I cried, when I thought of all the times I'd tried
But something touched my sense of pride
The day - I took - that stride
Bye Bye stinky smoke in my eye
You that shriveled up my skin, and turned it ever so dry
You made me feel good, but now I know a lie
If I keep you in my life I'll just die
That's why I'm gonna tell you bye bye...
I absolutely LOVE this!!
