Hi Liz welcome to this wonderful community. You are in the right place for support , advice, suggestions, encouragement and tips on how to remain a nonsmoker. I am on day 59 and have had a few slips and setbacks but am back on track with thanks to this community. I am in the process of whitening my teeth at the moment which i am very excited about as 38 years of smoking left them very discolored. I smell better, have lots more money, my lungs feel better and my self confidence has been given a lift. Stick with us Liz the more the merrier and I think we are all a great support for each other.

I gather you have been following our posts for a month or so now. That's a great start. As you see, we are a supportive group and share great advice. Aim to take control of your mind and it makes it easier. The Mindset.....smoking never did anything for us. Once you agree with that , you can let it go...and the anxiety with it....Choose to be a non-smoker. Its GREAT.
