Online Quit Smoking Support Groups

If you’re having trouble quitting smoking, then perhaps you need to check out what online quit smoking support groups there are, and how a good group might help.

There are a number of places you can find support on the Internet.

Google is a great place to start. Just type google.com into your browser and when you get to their main page look up at the top left corner. There you’ll see several links. You’ll notice at the end of the links is the word “More”. Click on that word. A drop down menu will appear. Click on “Groups” and you’ll be taken to the Google groups home page. There you can enter information into the search box about what type of group you’re looking for.

About.com has a great resource for people looking for groups. Go to About.com and type in “quit smoking support groups” into the search box. You’ll come up with an abundance of great forums and groups.

Don’t feel bad if you’re having trouble quitting. According to the CDC the average smoker who actually quits has tried over five times before they’ve had success.

There are over 25 million smokers in the United States alone, and it’s estimated that four out of five want to quit right now. So, the desire to quit is not what is keeping you hooked.

Your problem is you’re addicted to nicotine. For some, nicotine can be as addictive as heroin or cocaine. When nicotine enters your body, it goes to your brain and actually affects your brain chemistry. It’s a powerful drug, and getting out from its grip is not easy.

For many, quitting is lonely. Either you're surrounded with smokers who don't want you to quit, or you're surrounded with non-smokers who think quitting is much easier than it really is. That's why it's so important to find a good group or forum to interact with. Other smokers who are trying to quit understand what you're going through. They can help talk you through the rough spots and give you encouragement when you need it.

I made this site and others as a resource for people like you.

You see, I’m passionate about helping others quit smoking. My mother and father both smoked when I was a kid. My father quit, but my mother didn’t. Dad lived to be an old man. He saw me grow up and become successful. He saw his grandchildren.

My mother, on the other hand, did not quit. She died of cancer when I was twenty-two!

My father had a hard time quitting. He tried several times, then out of desperation, he invented a remarkable system that allowed him to quit without those dreaded withdrawal symptoms.

I’ve written a book detailing my Dad’s system. Click here to read more about it.

Whatever you do, please quit! You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.

Let me know what you think about my site. If you have any ideas of how I can improve it, leave a comment. Also, I would love to know about your own struggles with smoking.
