I second all that. The friendships & support here is what finally helped me overcome my addiction. And a good strong attitude full of daily affirmations like,
SMOKING IS NO LONGER AN OPTION
NOPE=Not one puff ever.
I can NEVER have just one!!
I am finally free!!!
I am not depreived- I have gained my freedom.
One day at a time.
