Going to use the colorado quit program. Set my quit date as August 1st. have already started cutting back a bit. Going to try the patch this time as I have tried cold turkey a few times and lasted a couple of weeks max. for the last couple of months I have just had my first smoke in the morning as usual and thought "what the Fu&k am I doing, this is disgusting". Time to go after almost 20 years. I'm done this time. I will be a non smoker dammit and I mean it.

Congrats on the anniversary. It's been a little over two years for me. I used Chantix though, too many years as a two pack a day smoker.
The urge is still there, but not as strong. You soon realize that the urge is all in your head. Your body doesn't really need the nicotine, but the addiction will keep trying to seduce you.
Today is 6 weeks!
I have to be honest, I am really surprised that I was able to do this. I am also pretty proud of myself for quitting. I am already starting to feel better, the cravings come and go, but I just try and think of something else and it goes away.
CONGRATULATIONS!Quote:

"Do you REALLY want to have to relive the last 6 weeks?"
Keep it going! I gave them up August 25th, 2007. I started smoking at 13 and was almost 50 when I quit. It was tough, but if I can anyone can.
Congratulations!
Its getting easier and I'm glad I quit. Its never to late to do the right thing
has food started becoming alot more complex? It has on my end. Also being able to walk into the gas station and have the buying a pack thought cross your mind but just as easily pass is an amazing feeling.Quote:

Hang tough guys and congrats.

Ok, so the day has arrived. I had set my quit day for August first a few weeks ago and now it's finally here.
Patch.........Check
Outragous amount of chewing gum.........Check
Sunflower seeds..........Check
Jalapeno salsa sunflower seeds..........Check
Willingness to quit..........Amounts in excess
So far so good today. It was strange driving to work without a smoke. Also strange not to go outside while here at work. Instead of getting away from my desk and smoking, I'm making a lap around the building.
I'm sneezing like crazy today. Is this normal? Or is there some sort of pollen or something in the air today?
I just wanna say good job y'all.
I just started a new job and I can't chew while doing it... woke up late the other day and went in without taking a dip before hand, then spent the next 8 hours putting up with idiot customers and even dumber coworkers... not good at all. The first day I started I brought my manager home with me, she stayed till 5 am or so and got to know me pretty well [Coffee], now requires me to wake up early enough to chew before I go in lol.
:)Take a smaller dip, don't spit. Thats what I do.[Muaha]Quote:

Today is week 7 for me! I am feeling better, the wife and I are trying to ride our bicycles 4 or 5 times a week so that makes me feel good that I am able to exercise a little now.
I used chantix to quit. It was the only way I could do it. Twice I had stopped for 6 - 8 months and it drove me back to smoking. I'm 3 years and a month quit now.

5 months today....
Day 5 and still going well! I almost chewed my own arm off the other night for a smoke though. It was on day 3 and I was told that day 3 was real difficult. I don't know about these damned nicotine patches though. They give me a buzz when I first put one on in the morning and I'm fidgeting around like a hamster on crack for most of the day. Going to lower the dosage starting Monday I think. They say to wear each stage for 6 weeks, but I think that is a load of crap to sell more.
This is the first weekend without, so I guess I'll see how that goes.
Nice dude! I'll hit two years in NovemberQuote:

I'm going to make another run at it. You guys will get a daily update. Tired of having to hide from my son when I'm smoking and worry about how much I'm spending on cigarettes.
Over a week now. Still on the patch of course, talk about getting way easier though! Only really getting urges when I'm having a few drinks, and I've handled that with no problems. All is well.
I'm gonna have to quit chewin when I ship.... not looking forward to that.
Dropped 71 you can definitely do it, but YOU have to be ready for it and YOU have to WANT to do it or it wont work.
Jsc you can do it man keep it going!!
still strong... my personal challenge now is eating better and loosing weight. gained like 15-20 lbs after i stopped smoking, plus with the baby and no time to cook a good meal. having a baby around has become more routine now, and we are getting back into eating better. lost 10 lbs already, hoping to loose 40-50.
Over two weeks now and going strong. Actually, half way to work today I realized that I forgot to put my patch on this morning. Too late to go back too. Hasn't really affected me at all so far. We shall see how the day continues though.
Nice!! Good for you pal!
Yesterday was 9 weeks for me. I still have the occasional craving but over all I am over it.
I tell ya what though, if I walk into a customers shop and there are a couple of guys out back smoking, I will stand right in the middle of all that smoke!! I LOVE the way it smells still!!
Keep up the great work J
I hit the 12 week mark yesterday!! Feelin pretty good
Congrats!
