Would anybody be interested in a smoking cessation group?

[Beware the Beast Man]

I know there are many past/present/future quitters here on DU. I've tried to quit smoking at least a dozen times over the past year, ranging from 7 hours to four months. I think it would be cool to have a place for quitters (snuff and chewing tobacco included) to offer support, advice, and info on kicking the habit.
Who's game? :hi:

1. It's a good idea, but might not be enough

You would probably benefit more from an in-person support group. FWIW.

4. Oh, definitely.

I do see a lot of DUers posting their success/failure stories in the Lounge, so I figured any support we can get.

2. I told my kids that I would Stop

After my oldest next surgery. I stopped for two and a half years this last time. It is hard I have a friend who stopped 16yrs ago and still occasionally wants one. It would be nice to be able to go somewhere, but I don't know if it would be any help.

5. ugh...

I've stopped three times, one year each time. I so want to stop forever.

I'm now in my "cut-down" mode. Really limiting how much I smoke. I keep my cigs in the kitchen, so I have to think about the fact that I am lighting a cigarette, rather than just having them there and not thinking about doing it.

3. Im in!

I've got 1 week without smokes now! Woo hoo.

Had it hard last night at a book signing when a anti-choice wing-nut butted in on a political conversation I was having with a guy.

Shot him down and managed not to smoke in the process.

7. Great work, congrats!

My Achilles heel is not stress, but good times. I'm more inclined to smoke when I have little to worry about.

9. sounds like the perfect time to quit then

pleny of stress and fewer good times

6. Count me in.

I'm trying to quit smoking. I'm taking Wellbutrin, but it isn't doing a bit of good.

10. i tried welbutrin once

it made me feel like this :silly:

8. As a ceased smoker, I think it would be a good idea

I still want a smoke now and again. And I think any help that we can offer those who want to quit (and in quitting, you cease supporting a Very Republican Supporting entity) is valuable.

It takes practice. and people need to know it can be done.
