The support group I belong to at QuitSmokingSupport.com on the Internet provided me with the ideas and materials needed to create this book. A special thank you goes to Blair Price for creating his support page and the bulletin board that serves as the forum for the group. Much of what you'll find within these pages represents the actual interaction between group members as we support each other in the fight against the addiction.
More than 60 group members from around the world contributed to this book. Please remember this if you come across an idea or belief that you disagree with. We all have different methods we use to maintain our quit so that we may one day attain freedom from the addiction. It is my hope that you will find yours in our support group, so that you can one day enjoy that freedom as well.
Peace!
Michael
Fight the good fight!
