I am seeing a lot of newbies and also ones that we have known from the past. Alot of ones just come and go. If you are serious about your quit, make that commitment to yourself that you will NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF AGAIN!!!! It's that simple. Sure there is going to be times that you will want to climb the walls. I went through those times alot. Just stick to your commitment and  be here DAILY!!! It can't be here and there. It will NEVER work that way!! Read blogs, encourage one another. Join the pledge group, board the Freedom Train and shout your numbers out or just congratulate another. You can have that forever freedom from this addiction. It's all up to you and on top of that, you have a great supportive community here to help you along the way.

About the Author
I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
