Hi Joel

This is probably the 4th time I’ve tried to quit smoking.  I’ve quit for a week on two separate occasions but always thought I’d just smoke one more.

I know�?big mistake�?I’ve tried probably all the alternative ways they talk about to help you quit but let’s face it�?I’m just going to have to quit!

Cold turkey!  I have to admit one of my biggest fears is gaining weight.  I work out a couple of times a week but I know I’ll have to work out even more to make up for not smoking.  I know it is one of the reasons I’ve never had to worry about my weight.  I am trying to locate a support group around the area that I live but do you think I really should or should I just go it alone.  My fiancée that I live with will probably quit along with me.

He actually quit for 3 months but started back a couple of weeks ago.  Is our quitting together going to make it more difficult?  Could I just write to you each day and tell you what I’m thinking or how I’m doing?  Do you think it’s wise to tell other people you’re quitting?  I’ve heard pros and cons on this.

Ok…enough for now…maybe this was a first step.  I like your website and I’m going to read over it more at home.

Thanks Joel

Wish me luck

Susan
