You’ve made such a smart decision. The people here will give you great suggestions and a lot of support. I spent a lot of time here when I first quit. I would not have made it without QSJ.

It’s not easy but it is so worth the effort. Hang in there. We will be here to help you.

Everyone says you have to quit for yourself but you don't have to quit by yourself.

Welcome. I'm a "newbie" here (45 days) but you will find all the support you can ask for and them some. You commit and everyone helps one another. I used the patch and found it very helpful for a couple of weeks then went cold turkey. Keep busy, drink lots of water, and what ever else you find helpful. Post often and read others postings for inspiration. Good luck!
