Trust me efficacy, you are no different that any of the rest of us here and as long as you stick around and participate and read all you can, you will be successful in quitting this time. Our junkie brains try their best to keep that from happening but this group can help expose the reality of smoking and the lies your junkie brain will tell you just to keep you enslaved, You too can fine freedom and as you said ..... take back your life! There are so many benefits when you quit. Freedom from this addiction for life and an enormous sense of pride for what you have accomplished. Once you quit smoking, you know you can do anything!
