And Now, A Word From Your Sponsor

Greetings! And welcome to the Diary of a Quitter. This is not the "About Me" page. If you want to know about me, click here. This page is about the web site and what you can do to help.

I started this site not long after quitting. Someone posed the question: "Why did you quit?" While it wasn't easy, I told the truth. All of it. That post became the essay Why I Quit Smoking and was the first page I put together for what is now the Diary site.

The site has grown in phases. I do this in my spare time and it is a commercial-free project. Recently the site has gone through another growth spurt and I hope to continue to add regularly to its content. And that is where you can help.

Once you've become familiar with the various sections of the site, you'll have a pretty good idea of the kind of content I look for. If you see a good article on the effects of smoking - or quitting - please send it to me. (Or the link, if you prefer.) If you read one of the advice pages (Planning to Quit, e.g.) and think you have something to add, please feel free to speak up.

You may notice that there is already content provided by others. I always do my best to acknowledge the contributors and will do the same for you. I firmly believe this extra content to be very helpful to others and provides a broader range of advice than I could offer on my own.

So, please! Consider this site yours as well as mine, And consider offering what you can to help others quit. I know they will appreciate it at least as much as I do.
