Hey, finally made the decision to stop smoking last night so today is the day! There’s no support groups near me so seeking other options to help keep my sobriety this time!
Anyone else at the start of their journey and looking for some online friends to help keep up the momentum and support each other?

Check out the Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) (Part 2) thread.
For me - I used a hypnosis app and found that it was very helpful when I was ready to fully commit.
Quit Smoking Hypnosis by Surf City Apps.
how are things going on day 2?
I’m very tired from the lack of sleep (only managed 2 hours) so I woke up very emotional, so I joined a meeting online and beat the cravings! Day 2 has been worse that day 1 but hoping I wont feel this way everyday 
Thank you so much! Reaching out to others is going to be the turning point for me I think! Really helps me to not feel alone in the way I’m feeling!
