Hi Jazzbo,
I think you're doing brilliantly. You are right! It is easier to achieve our goals when we have the support of others.
People on this forum are so friendly and helpful because they have either been where you are now or they're going through the same thing.
We can give you support by either helping to answer your questions, share our own experiences or keep you going with words of encouragement.
I stopped smoking in 1994 on my 5th attempt and it was the best thing I ever did. I had very strong motivation and support from those around me. I share my story here
"Why I'm passionate about helping smokers to quit and stay that way forever"
Keep in touch and let us all know how you're getting on. Good Luck
Heather
