@j3ffmeadowsgm Welcome to EX. We, the members aren't "coaches" per se, just people who have "been there, done that." Each perspective lends a voice in the process of quitting. Some voices will speak to you, other's won't. Find those voices that resonate to your needs and go with them.
Smoking does make us sicker and so here we are, making new choices for better health. It ain't easy to conquer this addiction/habit/need whatever you want to call it, but it IS possible. Though it does take work. If you're willing to put in the work, I think you will reap the benefits. As a 35+ year smoker who has been now quit 17 years - I can tell you it's worth the effort.
I suggest you put up a blog in the Conversations/Journals/Blogs area. Here's a link that may? get you there. I find this site hard to navigate m'self.: https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/t5/Journals-Blogs/bg-p/quit-journals Look to the right and you'll see a Journal Dashboard. From there you can "Start a Journal/Blog". Hopefully you'll get responses from other members there.
The Community help area, where you posted, is mostly for technical community help problems.
