Hi Shopp, Well done for your decision to quit👏.

Welcome to Quit Support.💙

It’s never easy to quit but it’s easier with a little support.💪

I'm sorry for your loss.

Have you decided how you are going to quit? Are you going to use NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) or are you going cold turkey? Which ever method you choose we will support you all the way.

I suggest you write a list of your reasons for wanting to quit,pin it somewhere you often go. Mine is on the fridge.

Here's a link to get you started.

healthunlocked.com/quitsupp...

Please read the pinned posts,📌 there is lots of information there. You will find the posts to the right or at the bottom of your screen depending which device you are using.

May I suggest you drink plenty of water💧💦 to flush out the toxins and keep yourself hydrated.

If you feel you need any more help please don’t hesitate to ask. There is always someone here.

May I remind you not to post any personal information.

Good luck with your quit.🍀🚭xx
