The beginning of this new College/University season has been a problem around here too! Lots of gatherings with little to no distancing protocol and no masks (plus mucho alcohol I expect)! One of the reasons cases are ticking upward here as well 😞 https://www.kingstonist.com/news/queens-prof-calls-for-action-after-dozens-of-weekend-parties-downtown/

Perhaps but I'm not sure lockdowns are the best solution. Destroys the economy which in turn creates undue hardship for all. It's all about wearing a mask to reduce (not eliminate) the risks, keep your proper distance at ALL times and keep your wanderings to necessary outings - not party-party stuff. The real problem is, some people (actually quite a few) are NOT prepared to sacrifice their pleasure/fun time for as long as they need to in order to gain back their complete freedom. Kinda like quitting smoking isn't it?

Nope! I'm stickin' with #1 🐷

Welcome Terri and YES! There's many here who can help you with a whole array of things. Why not go to the "Introductions & About Us Page on the main board and make a post telling us about yourself and how you plan to quit (going cold turkey or using a quit aid?). There are a ton of resources here to help you quit and lots of people more than willing to point you in the right direction to get those resources. There's a whole video page as well covering the subject of nicotine addiction and quitting. Knowledge Terri ; that's your key to quitting!

You're coming up to 7 months quit Kate. so you still have some strong remembrance of smoking in certain situations. Unexpectedly a seeminly strong urge to "have one" pops into your head. It's completely normal and happens to us all. That's what the 1 year pledge is for - to make sure you get past all those unplanned situations where your brain goes immediately to smoking, even though you may be surprised that it does this far into your quit. Remember .... every situation like this that you face and end up dismissing is another WIN for you One more notch in your quit belt Kate. Soon, there'll be no more complete surprises, just vague memories of smoking for which we all have to remain vigilant but by then, it's pretty easy

You know where your "Quit Home" is Linda and the whole family is here to support you. Stay close and let us know when we can step in to help you through the tough times Know this:You have what it takes but, it will take all you have!

Nope!

Don't EVER give up on quitting, even when you feel you need a break from the struggle because quitting will save you from even greater struggles with the quality of your life later on.
