THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WARM WELCOMES AND SUPPORT. I HAVE BEEN A SMOKER FOR 35 YEARS AND KNOW MY HEALTH WILL SOON BE GOING DOWN IF I DONT DO SOMETHING NOW! I HATE THE SMELL, AND REALLY HATE THAT I KNOW THAT THIS ADDICTION HAS SUCH A STRONG HOLD ON ME. IT REALLY MAKES ME ANGRY. I LIKE TO BE THE ONE IN CHARGE!! COULD SOMEONE TELL ME HOW I USE THE MESSENGER? I HAVE DOWNLOADED IT BUT THERE IS NO-ONE IN IT? THANKS ALL-AND HERES TO A SMOKE FREE ME!

Hi Peppermint, Congratulations on making the decision to quit... I too tried to quit many times before I was pointed in the direction of this website... I am working on day 7 at the moment and because of the support that I have received on this site I have found it to be the easiest quit experience I have ever had... The support network here is amazing. If you have any worries or if you need a rant just come on here and post like crazy... Someone will always have time to post you a reply, give you some advice or just listen to what you want to say... Use the tools on the left, they are invaluable... Keep a journal of your progress... I have a livejournal that I update every morning with details of how my previous day was and how I am coping... Even if you just get a jotter or notebook and write any feelings/thoughts you have in there it is great to look back on... Also, many of the other members on here have posted some very inspirational messages... When you find one, print it off and put it in your journal.. I keep mine in a quit folder, full of all my targets, treats, and inspirations.. Also, remember your reward system.. Reward yourself at the end of every day you complete, at the end of the week have a bigger reward and at the end of the month one that is bigger than that... Make the most of it... Good luck with your quit, remember that we are only a post away if you need to talk to anyone.. Krissie
