Tip # 6 Join A Support Group

Tips To Quit Smoking

Join a an online or in person support group. Support groups are an important step in a successful long term quit smoking strategy. There are plenty of online quit smoking forums and most cities have local support groups that meet weekly or monthly.

Support groups offer many benefits to someone trying to quit smoking. Groups offer encouragement, understanding, strength, and a place to be exposed to new ideas. Support groups are a great way to meet people that are experiencing the same struggles as you. After belonging to a group for a time you may start to feel very connected to people in the group as you help each other. Many times good friends are made through these groups. You may feel a great sense of community or accomplishment as you assist others with their strife.

Online forums and groups can be especially helpful as you can log on anytime you feel weak or have a craving. You will also have access to people all over the world that are going through similar experiences.

Always remember, you are not alone.
