Find a Quit Buddy

I am looking for a quit buddy that will have a few minutes to chat, probably in the evenings, about our journeys to becoming EXs. I am looking for another college student, and would prefer to talk to someone else who is athletic. The struggle between being an athlete and a smoker is quite the battle! Feel free to message me!! Good luck!!

Hello All - My quit date is September 10, 2014 and I need all of the support I can get.  I welcome a partner so we can help each other get over the hard part while being motivational and encouraging.

I wish us all every bit of success!

I keep forgetting to put the patch on in the morning.  Do you think that's adding stress to my quit program?  It's hard for me to tell as I'm still in the beginning stages of quitting.

I've read that it's recommended that one wear the patch for at least 6 months.  Does anyone have any feedback about that?  I don't want to fall off the track to success.

Thanks!

Today is my second day living as a non smoker I have tried to quit several times but always have started back. I hate cigarettes and the hold they get on a person everyone who does not smoke always says how easy they think it is to quit but its harder than they think . I woke up and kinda missed that first one this morning but I got up and ate breakfast and actually relaxed before work I need a quit buddy

Hey! I feel like I can't quit. Already relapsed several times. I WANT to quit (for the first time ever) but I don;t have anyone in my life who truly gets it.....I am starting again today but always scared of failure. Any support and advice would be much appreciated!!

Hi guys

My quit day is set for January 20th 2017 and I'm already excited for it to arrive! 

In fact I hate that it's so far away. I want to reclaim my life now--today. But it a good thing battling nicotine addiction sucks but what sucks even more is knowing that I HAVE to smoke for another 2 weeks to work the Quit plan.

 

So I'll catch up with y'all in a few days!
