Hi Joel,
As a smoker for some 30 years, I had tried unsuccesfully to kick the habit, but never totally as I now realise after having found your website.
All of your material has put my nicotine addiction into context for me, and made me realise why in the past I suffered so much and with so little success.
While I realise I have an awful long way to go, I am now in my fifth day with ABSOLUTELY no nicotine (I can honestly say that I had never before truly lasted even on day and really thought I was destined to die some day with a cigarette in my mouth) and that in itself is a huge achievement for me.
Incredibly, the first 72 hours were really quite easy, and the first serious crisis was about half an hour ago. Fortunately I managed to draw on enough will power and reasoning to avoid buying just one cigarette (something that is unfortunately possible down here in Chile) and rushed home to read and read and read. Once again, your library saved my quit.
While I am not an native Chilean (Australian really) I feel it such a pity that I am unable to share this site with some Chilean friends that could benefit. To that end, while it will be a slow process, due to my normal work load as a free-lance translator, I would be interested in translating this site so that it can perhaps help many more people to free themselves. In the event that this possibility interests you, please feel free to make your recommendations regarding the order of priority for translation. Naturally, any work I do in translating this material will be free of charge, and my little contribution to trying to help more people and at the same time, a show of gratitude for the help it has been to me so far.
Regards,
Leigh
