Hi all

I have tried quitting 3x before, cold turkey-on Champix-Hipnosis  I have 7 grandkids under 7yrs + 1 on the way who are my world & my life  I want to be involved in their lives  I also want to be around to see them reach maturity & I want to be fit enough to be active with them which I sort of manage right now & want to continue to do so  As I have to travel between 2 States & overseas between them I need to save money which I will do when I am free of smoking  I'm here for support & to give support when needed. I cannot wait to feel at my best & look forward to communicating with likeminded people.

thanking you 

Regards

Jacqui

Hi @Jacqs - you have 7 (soon 8) beautiful reasons to give up smoking!

It’s clear how important your grandkids are to you. Saving money for all that travel is another big motivator too and it’s great that you’re thinking about what life can look like without smoking in it.

You’ve tried different ways before and that to me actually sounds like determination.

Being here for support and to support others is exactly what this community is about. We’re glad you’ve joined iCanQuit and are here if you have any questions.
