[John-C.]

You can use this wall to introduce yourself and tell your story! Remember, this group is only for those who have stopped smoking completely (no matter for how long). We can use the advice of experienced EX's, too. I am on my 4th day (again), using this site much more and reading reading reading!

Hi Amy,
  Welcome to our little group. Are you using anything to help you quit? Have you got a quit date? I never succeeded in cutting back first so I can't give advice about that. I believe the reason I am having such a good luck this time in quitting is the support I have gotten on this site. I would suggest reading everything I can---comments, my pages and blogs. jsu weep on reading. I am going on 3 days not smoking and this has been the easier quit I have ever had. Just keep hanging in there---You can do this!!!!! nancy

Love Nancy

Thanks Nancy, I have an appointment with my doctor on Jan 13th,the earliest date I could get. I'm planning to try Zyban and the patch. I've tried to go it alone before, but I think this is sooo much better than that! It's nice to have someone (s) to reach out to. Feel free to get in touch anytime! Amy

Hello Webslave,
  Welcome to beginners. I hope we can be of help in what ever you need to quit. Again, welcome. Nancy

Hooray! I actually went twenty minutes without thinking about having to smoke all because i was on the website!!! Thanks, you've helped already! Love, Amy

Amy, It works. I can't believe how being on this site has helped me. One off my friend's mypage has a video that I think every body should see. It is a film showing a woman in her 50s dying of lung cancer. Every time the urge is great to smoke I think of her suffering. It is not easy to watch. If you want to watch it go to mypage and click on the beautiful white kitty. It's Carole's Mypage. It will change your attitude about cigarettes. Love Nancy

Hello Everyone - I set a date to quit Jan 2 but I'm still smoking. I've cut down but haven't gone all the way yet. I'm serious about this and I know I have to beat this. I've never joined any online groups so I'm new to this - Debbie

[amy-finch]

Hi Debbie, I'm new to this as well, I just joined this morning. I already feel like I have a good chance of quitting this time and thats in large part to this web site. We can go down this road together! Feel free to ask for any help you may need! Amy
