Hi Everyone,
Im Chris, 45YO living in Chicago area. I have been smoking fairly heavily 2 packs a day, since I was 18. Was able to successfully quit in 2016 for 3 years, at which point Nicodemon talked me into having "Just One" since I was really missing it and was missing having something to do. In my mind anyway. So I have been smoking for the last 2 years and smoking heavily. I always have to use patches since i have really bad physiological side effects when quitting cold turkey, so im going to do what i have to to avoid that. I remember using Quitnet back then to find support on the quit smoking forums etc. Im looking for same here, I have tried quiting over last few months, several times and obviously have not succeeded. Because of that, im having hard time finding much support from friends and family, since I have announced so many times recently that im quitting, Im not sure they believe it anymore. I do though.
Looking forward to reading your stories, providing the little knowledge I have and being there for you to support you as well. Finished my last cig some time ago this morning, slapped a patch on and Im ready to do this! Cheers!
