Hello, New to forum

[WalkAwayRene]

Hello everyone! As you can tell, I am new to this site and yet so glad to have found it. I have smoked for many years. I had some test ran last month and they found 3 spots in my left lung. Not sure if it is cancer or not, have more test next week. However, hopefully it is nothing serious but either way, it is time for me to quit smoking. I have been sick of smoking for some time now anyway. I called my regular MD and he is sending me a prescription for some pathes to the drug store this afternoon. My quit day is tomorrow. I plan on thoroughly reading this site  in all aspects because I am serious like never before and education never hurts. Thank you for letting me join and thank you in advance for and help and or tips.

I had never been a part of any forum before I quit smoking and I'm convinced I wouldn't have succeeded without the support of my fellow quitters. I want that for you too. No one knows better than us what you go through when quitting so there's no better place to be than here. Stick close, check out all our different forums. There's lots to do here from educating yourself to celebrating milestones to socializing to keep your mind off the constant thoughts of smoking.

Hi Rene.

 

Welcome to the Train, where you will find loads of support and can arm yourself with a wealth of information to help you quit smoking and stay quit. Sorry to hear about your lung situation. Eliminating the smoking will benefit your healing, and taking action to support your health helps to beat down the anxiety.

 

Please watch Joel Spitzer's videos.  They are extremely educational. Knowledge is power, and actively educating yourself while quitting really does help to focus the mind when you are withdrawing.
