Last 3 years each month it has costed $500-$700 to keep smoking, pawning all my jewellery

I joined nicotine anonymous a support group 3 years ago it is similar to Alcoholics Anonymous

It is a Wednesday 6pm support group over the phone

I have a sponsor

Who has helped me write me a character reference for a outside issue

I will continue with group

I am pretty artistic but have been battling another separatie outside issue for 3 years

Will try keep hands busy creating art and writing and little reading

And go to work each day rostered

And try not to smoke over outside issues

    Keeping busy helps our minds with things more worthwhile. Knowing that you are not alone and understood by peers is also soothing and encouraging. Anyone can quit smoking when they really want to. Finding the want to quit more than the want to keep smoking is key. When you realize that smoking does nothing for you but create stress and problems that should help . When you can let go of the fear of quitting smoking and actually embrace the idea, you will.
