Hey ya'll! My name is Sarah and I am a smoker. I decided to start my journey to becoming a non-smoker. Truth is, I'm scared! I'm excited and worried and have very little confidence that I will truly make it this time. I have quit in the past. Quit for a year and started back up. I quit for two years, and started back up. I want to quit smoking and live a healthier lifestyle. I'm terrified of gaining weight (I'm already extra chubby) and falling into a serious pattern of self-destruction! I get terribly depressed and my only child has moved away from home. The "Empty Nest" thing is terribly hard!! Anyhow, I'm not sure if this is the right time to try to quit but at the same time, I can't keep putting it off. "Excuses" are what keeps me from quitting. So here I go! I'm taking my first steps to becoming smoke free. I hope I will meet new people on here and be able to establish a support system, not only for my self but be able to help support others as well! Have a good day ya'll and good luck to everyone! God Bless!
