I must endure

Smoked a pack-two a day for last three years. Today woke up with very bad breath, I have problems with muscles on back and around lungs, hope it's not something worse. Went to x-ray they didnt find disease hopefully, but there are pains. I am trying to quit and living with a girlfriend who is a chain smoker also diagnosed with shyzophrenia. I set my quit date tommorow because I feel prepared. I already tried 2 months ago and stayed clean for 7 days. My girlfriend will never stop smoking and she smokes in the appartment and every time I smell the smoke I want to light up. I will throw away all my cigarettes today but she rolles tobacco, keeps it on the kitchen table and it is very easy for me to fall and make a cigarette from her tobacco. I feel like an alcoholic in a bar with free drinks. Temptations are high, I must endure it I must be strong. Will must be strong.

First of all, WELCOME TO EX! You are here because you are deeply considering getting rid of cigarettes forever, and we are here to help you do just that.
 
Before you go any further, you must know that this particular welcome page here is not really used much at all anymore. The truth is that everyone in the community here uses the BLOGS to communicate, and that's why it took 2 days for you to get noticed here on this forgotton forum. We're sorry about that.
 
Look toward the upper left corner of your screen. You should see a blue square that says BLOGS. When you click on that, you’ll then see a list of open conversations that have been created by the members here. You can click on any of them and read them. Read as many as you like! If you feel like commenting on that person’s specific conversation topic, you can type out your remarks in the box at the bottom.
 
We’d like you to introduce yourself to the entire group. While still on the BLOGS page, click on “Write a Blog Post”, over on the left side, halfway down the page. Type your thoughts in the box that will pop up, but - hurry! - the website only allows you to type for about 12 minutes before closing your session. (I know, we think it’s weird, too.) 
 
Writing a BLOG is also how you ask questions of the entire group, how you report your progress to us, and how you declare your victories (we like those!). Writing a blog is like speaking out loud to a room full of fellow members, and it’s how we are all able to send you comments and support.
 
There are lots of other neat features around here, and you’ll discover them all as you slowly work the program and get acquainted with us. Until then, move over to the BLOGS page now and introduce yourself over there, okay?
 
WELCOME TO EX!!!!
