New here and looking for help!

Hi there! I´m Janne, 33 years old, and since I remember smoking always wanted to stop, and never really could. I started when I was 13 and my diary entries from when I was 16 are all about quitting. Been some periods of time without smoking but I always end up doing it. I read books about it, write lists of the benefits of quitting, download apps, set dates after dates and i´m feeling very incapable of doing it. Sorry for my English...It´s not my language :)

Hi Janne..very warm welcome

Congratulations on the best decision of your life...you will get a lot of guidance on this forum an I am not the first to say that this forum is the reason for my success so far.

Some of us are lucky and could quit after 38 years on the first attempt... But I know why .....Because once you have tasted the sweet, sweet smoke free life after 38 years you never want to stink like that again .... Stay strong in your quit and we are behind you ...

(Your English is excellent for me because English is also my fourth language)

Hi Janne

Just joined myself and set today as my quit date (though I actually haven't had a ciggy since 3:30 yesterday). Good luck for Thursday, hopefully see you on the forum and follow your progress. We can do this!
