Good morning, afternoon or evening to you all and a very warm welcome to our new membersπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ We’re very happy to have you on board as this is the first Weekend Chat of the year πŸ’¬

Our minds turn to New Year Resolutions πŸ€” If you have made the best decision to quit smoking, then I would say try not to take on a big list of other things at the same time. Just concentrate on staying smoke free each day🚭πŸ’ͺ

The important thing is to plan and prepare for your quit journey and be ready for what lies ahead. If you have chosen your NRT already, it can be a good idea to have a second option as well. So if you have chosen patches, then perhaps have the inhalator for those extra tough situations when you need a little extra. Yesterday our monky put up a great post……”Which NRT or other therapies do I have a choice of using” so have a read of that as lots of great information there for you. Another great post to read from Jilly called β€œTips to Quit Smoking”

Knowledge is powerπŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ So please have a look at the pinned posts too πŸ“Œ

We talk of giving up smoking but really what are we giving up? We’re giving up inhaling smoke into our lungs 🫁 which will inevitably make us sick as our lungs are not meant to do that ❌ Cigarettes cost a fortune now and make us smell awful as well 😷 This is the time of year for cough, colds and flu and smoking will only make it worse. We’re taking on a healthier approach to our bodies now and the benefits will pay dividends.

You never hear anyone say, I wish I hadn’t quit smoking but you do hear many people say they wish they had quit smoking. People come back to Quit Support every year and say it was the best thing they ever did and wished they had done it sooner. So please focus on your commitment to be smoke free this year. It will most definitely be the best thing you can do for yourself and your family too.

We’re here for you and together we can do this. Stay close and let this year be the year you did it🚭πŸ’ͺπŸ‘πŸ‘

Have a great weekend and here’s to a smoke free 2025, one step at a timeπŸ™ŒπŸ’ƒπŸ’–πŸ€—πŸ«–β˜•οΈπŸŒπŸ«–β˜•οΈπŸŒxx
