Tell19

Hi Tell19,
 
Congratulations on making the decision to quit!
 
And you are correct - the first couple of weeks are going to be really hard - but you can do this! It is important to keep yourself busy, break up your old routine, stay away from triggers (caffeine, alcohol, etc.), and stay away from other smokers. Following the advice in this program will definitely help.
 
We've done a lot of research on this program, and we have found that posting in this community helps tremendously. Not just because of the support of other members, but typing out how you are feeling helps you get over cravings. You'll find that when you post what you are going through intense cravings often pass.
 
We also just soft-launched a text messaging program. You can text in keywords (like craving) for instant advice. Our research on the text messaging program shows that the program is a big help, especially in the early stages of your quit. You can register for free here: http://sms.evolutionhs.com.  
 
Here are the keywords you can type in: 
 
  • edgy
  • craving
  • alcohol
  • smokers
  • stress
  • motivate
  • slip
 Congratulations once again - quitting is really hard, but you can do it! Good luck, keep fighting, and please let us know how you are doing!
 
Cheers,
Trevor

new to group forum and need advice

Hi Everyone , I am new to this forum, and a bit nervous about it thought that this would be a good way to start. How is everyone and I could really use advice- am drinking more than I used to and want to stop - have been getting drunk and doing daft things. My friend is running a barbecue this week and am not going becuase I don't trust myself not to be a prat :8o:
