OK, Smoker taking the plunge!

[Quiet Thunder]

Ok, so due to my recent surgery, I havn't been able to smoke for a few days. Well, I've cheated but I only had a few. Well, today I went out and bought the patch. I also got a few packs of "Smokers Option". So, I'm officially going to quite smoking. Lycia, keep those lips wet....

[Poseidon]

Good luck and yes you can do it. This April will be three years since I quit smoking. If I can do it, anyone can.

Good luck Quiet. I havent smoked in 4.5 years and was about 1.5 packs a day. Its not an easy road by anymeans, but not impossible. But with Lycia around making those kind of deals, that should be enough to keep ya from smoking

[WebHead]

You can do it QT! Damn, everyone's quitting lately. Maybe I should think about trying to quit again too.

use the force, bro. good luck.

Good luck!
That's what I would do if I were you.
If I had the chance not to smoke for more than a couple of days I would have no problem to quit it. But since I smoke even when I'm sick it's kinda hard for me. I keep telling myself I should really try in the future although I'm not too old.

Just how much did Lycia have to do with this decision?

Cheers and good luck. Don't think of it as a health thing--imagine how much MONEY you will save!!!

I don't smoke, but i do know people who have quite. If you stick to it, you can do it.

Best of luck

I have tried many times, I want to try again but it's so hard. Good luck your going to need it.

Aye; I don't smoke, but I have seen packs go for $3 around here. Do the math; 2 packs a day is $6, which over a year becomes $2190!!!! That will buy lots of toys!

Anyway, good luck to all trying to quit!

Good Luck,

You can do it!!! (in my best Rob Schneider voice)

seriously though, I quit, it isn't easy and it took me years to do, but I finally did it.

The key is
If you fall and have a cigarette, it doesn't mean you're a smoker.
You are still a non-smoker, but you had a cigarette, don't have another one...
Don't say to yourself, I failed i'm a smoker again...
Just say oops I had a cig, now I need to go on with my life as a non-smoker...

Good Luck! I'm 1.5 years and counting. My little contribution....Tea Tree Chewing Sticks. They helped me quit. Little toothpicks with tea tree oil (minty flavor). Anytime you have a craving or start figiting and need something to do with your hands, start chewing on one. It'll really help.

I gnawed through those things soooo fast. There were many times (out at the bars when everybody else is smoking) that they saved my a$$.

I quit smoking cold turkey. Once you run out of your present pack of smokes, don't go buy anymore. And, don't bum any from your friends. If you don't have anything to smoke, you won't smoke.
I know it sounds simplistic, but it worked for me.
I chewed on straws when my hands needed somthing to play with. Find a good brand...McDonald's straws get shredded up too easily.
