Congratulations and good luck with quitting smoking! I did the same myself a few years back so I know how challenging it is. Just keep the big picture in mind and you'll get through it. Everyone here is super supportive and awesome, so you've landed in the right place.

Welcome to the board! My Mom just quit smoking three months ago, she has smoked pretty much my whole life and then some (and I'm 38 years old). This board is great for support and finding lots of information!!

I am an ex smoker myself been almost 3 years. Good luck with that and the weight loss if you need help just reach out there is always someone to help. Someone who has been through that or someone who is going through it to cry with. You will do great.

Congratulations on packing up the weed. I'm planning on doing the same later this week....
