Hi Angel - if you're looking for support and encouragement, you're in the right place. Welcome. This is a great group. If you can, post to the daily pledge and daily roll call. Both of those really help me keep my quit. Good luck to you and let us know when your quit date is.

Good decision to quit, support is here for you Dear.

Welcome to out quitting 'family'- its the thing that finally helped me quit a 38 year addiction. Youre smart to be reading Alan Carrs book- its great. We'll all be here to support you on your quit date- sign in at roll call and pledge- it helps us stay accountable. Just keep a very positive attitude - it will help you through the first few tough weeks.

Welcome!! That part was free.

Advice is gonna cost you, you give me 30 days of smoke free living, and I will give you 30 days of support....deal?

Hello and welcome. It sounds like you are preparing well and thats critical to a lasting quit. have a look at whyquit.com as that has lots of helpful info and it will keep you motivated. When you quit call in here daily and do the rollcall and pledge that really helps and you can see how others are doing. We will support you the best we can so yell if ya need us.
Might be helpful to buy some sugarfree lollies and writing down why you are quitting and all the things you hate about smoking. You can refer back to the list when you crave. When you crave remember the 5 D,s delay,distract,drink water,deep breathe and DS (this site)
See you soon
Hugs deb
