The Groups (where you are now) and the forums are not well attended at all.  You could be here a long time before someone responds.  This site is very confusing, so we try to guide people to the Blogs  (top of page, next to groups).  The Blogs are where we all hang out 24/7.  We have success here, you can too.  We just have to get you to the blogs:)  Welcome!

Hello Everyone,

I have just started the "becoming an Ex" plan and have many triggers. I don't want a pity party, but I figured that if I started smoking and got cancer or had a heartattack that I could put myself and the others in my family out of there misery. That was about 10 years ago that started and I have since learned that I am the one that makes my life what it is and how it goes. I have tried so many times to quit that I have actually lost track. I have a facebook page (William Keesee) and would to actually get to know that there are people out there that will help me when I actually get to that quit point.

I'm starting to get everything in order and will start the whole triggers list tomorrow before I go to work. I'm not going to try to quit right off the bat, but I just want to see how bad (and how many) my cigarette addiction has gotten to. I hope that I'm not that surprised.

Cheers to you all and wishing you the luck and prayers for you to get the Ex badge.

Hello, my name is Lori and I am in the process of preparing myself to stop smoking.  I quit last year with the help of Chantix but as my son's wedding date drew closer, I was stressed and started taking drags of cigarettes here and there and before I knew it I was buying a pack and smoking quite a few cigs a day.  I was very cocky and thought I could keep a handle on just smoking a few cigarettes.

I am now ready to take the step again but I don't think I will be able to afford the Chantix as my husband lost his job last month and all I have is a supplement to my Medicare coverage and they don't cover that particular drug.  I have to check to see what it would cost a month and compare with how much I save by not buying cigarettes.

I will be looking all around this site.  I look forward to meeting some new friends.

Lori

I feel as if I am on the verge of insanity.

 Today has been a real drag for me. All I seemed to want to do is sleep. Not me at all, But then it is my first day.

I'm trying to quit with e cigs. and spacing them out from my craves.

Just can't seem to get it together.
