Share your quitting journey

It’s not your imagination!

I’m not making excuses! I’m giving you a reality check on what you have to do to launch and protect your quit!

Check out the Blog yesterday by MePlus3 and especially pay attention to the comments. You can learn so much by reading other people’s blogs!

Surveys have shown that 31% of smokers admitted sabotaging another person's attempt to quit.

The reasons to wreck other people's quitting attempts include jealousy, guilt about their own addiction and wanting a smoking "buddy". 72 per cent of smokers who have tried to quit think someone has tried to ruin their attempts. 

On average, smokers have tried to break the addiction at least three times. One in five  have tried five times or more. 

Beating a smoking addiction is hard enough without the negative influence of others around you casting doubt.

BUT you don't have to go it alone! There is support both in your 3D world and right here 24/7! Tell everybody you know that you are quitting - including those cashiers who know your and your favorite brand by heart! Come here every day as often as you want and need to. We are never bored talking about your addiction and helping you get and stay Smoke Free!

Even a brief conversation with your Doctor can increase your chances of success!

PLEASE think before you endanger your quit! I forfeited a one year quit because I thought hanging around my smoking buddies meant that I was morally superior to those ex-smokers I'd met who couldn't stand to be around 2nd hand smoke! 

What I was is morally stupid! My next quit attempt was several TEARS later! God expects us to take care of our bodies!
