Help!: Have just joined & need loads of advice... - Quit Support
Help!
Hi weemikec and welcome to our community. You've found the right place for help with your quit. I'm pretty sure you're not going mental but with all your other problems going on no-one would blame you if you were!
Yes, it is tough at the beginning - (don't know how far into the quit you are though but I guess it's early days)
The best thing to do for now is to read up some of the old blogs, questions and archives, you may find some help among them - it will maybe take your mind off it a bit too.
I'm sure that later one of our Quit Support team (Emjay or Claire) will contact you for more details so we can all work through this together. I know I couldn't have managed it without everybody on here.
Good luck and see you later,
Andi

Hey weemikec
Welcome to our online stop smoking community, a place where you'll get to chat to lots of other lovely folk who are going through the same as you.
I'm sure you're not going mad, but do appreciate that it will sometimes feel like you are
A quick couple of questions so we can find out a little more about your smoking history;
Have you already quit smoking?
How many did/do you smoke daily?
Why do you want to stop smoking?
Do you think you enjoy any that you smoke?
Which smokes do you think that you'll miss the most?
Nobody says that it's easier, but given time, everyone says that it's worth it :0)
Why not also pop over onto the daily chat, plenty to chat and laugh about and everyone is really friendly :0)
Congratulations on making such a big decision in your life, stopping smoking is the dingle most important thing you can do to improve your health all round
We really can help you and with the support of each other, together we can do this
