Although I saw your post I fear most in the community may not. To remedy that, I recommend you write a blog to introduce yourself to the community (Ex Community-top left; then center blue box-"Post a Journal/Blog"). You might include your smoking history, why you want to quit, your quit date if you have set one, and anything else about yourself you care to share. You will reach a wider audience this way.
@blackhatjack304 Welcome to the Ex and congrats on your decision to quit.
I have numerous attempts at quitting and it finally took me 50 years to get it right. What was different this time? I had a quit date, an aid, a class and cut down for a week. Sounds like a road to success. I was fortunate to find the Ex a week prior to my quit. I learned about nicotine addiction and that I needed a plan that would prepare for what I was going to encounter on my journey. And for the first time, I had the support of fellow quitters.
Take the time to learn how to do this. Part of it is mindset and part of it is hands on work identifying triggers, what tools you'll use, what associations you'll create instead of smoking, etc. Spend time on the site, getting as well as giving support. The early days take commitment so why not have other quitters to help you deal with the up and downs of this journey.
We're here for you so reach out anytime we can help. Going for walk is a great way to refocus your thinking and get an added boost of dopamine. Spend time on the site when you need it the most
Consider taking the Daily Pledge. It's a great way to stay on track one day at a time, even the weekend.
