"...the only thing I will add.....

All roads lead to Rome...cold Turkey is not for everyone... There are patches ,gum,tablets...

As long as you don't smoke ...nicotine is a poison....

It's a drug...you have to fight for your freedom..."

"... I believe that becoming active in this forum and The Other Place helped me remain a nonsmoker. It was my #1 quitting tool

After you quit and come by everyday, you start to get attached to the forum. You will not want to let everyone down so if you are tempted,

it may just give you the pause you need to get over the urge. "

"...I recommend watching 3 of Joel´s videos every day, and to spend at least a few minutes every day here, twice a day,

reading any material that may be of interest to you.

The amount of time you invest in yourself and your quit in the beginning,

is proportional to the degree of understanding the process of quitting smoking and general happiness that you will have as a non-smoker"

"...You need to commit to a year coming here. And I will add you need to be active for that year. Post. Socializing and helping others"

"...Staying active is critical because you are held accountable to your new online quit fam.

Not so easy to give up and think no one will notice then.

Your life is literally what's at stake. Plus it's fun!"
