I only felt alone week two. I think it was just a sadness rather than an aloneness. I came here as often (still do) as i could and got so much support from the people who really understood what i was going thru, cause the had all been there. That was the biggest help i got. I know i couldn't have done it alone, support from people who know works.

There were times I felt alone early in my quit. Ironically, I had a friend who relapsed about 6 months ago re-quit a few weeks ago & I am relating very well to every stage of her quit - probably because I've so recently "been there/done that".

Members,
Do you feel like you�re in this all alone? You don�t have to be. Chances are many of your friends, family members and co-workers would also like to quit smoking. Let the people around you know what you�re doing and maybe you�ll have a new walk partner at lunch instead or smoke partner or a new friend to share your rewards with. If the people around you aren�t interested, introduce yourself here and connect with other members online.
Having support through this kind of journey is really important and will help you stay motivated throughout. Your chances of success also increase when you have the support of friends and family. So connect with others in your community or online and quit smoking!
