I am going on the nicotine gum tomorrow and attempting to quit again.
Wish me luck.


Yellowrose, are you still quit?

Good luck girly !

Best of Luck, You can do it!!!

Good luck, Dragoness.

I tried it once, btw.

Good Luck Dragoness!

Hope ya don't go to crazy

I used to chew the gum at work when I couldn't go smoke, worked great.


Good Luck

Thanks everyone , I will keep ya all informed to my progress.

Okay, almost 24 hours so far with no cig, yay. My jaws hurt though from chewing the hell out of gum all day..lol

24 hours is good... the first few days are the hardest, your half way done
with the worst part...

it doesnt kill you to quit, its been 3 1/2 yrs now it sure saves the money

good luck, i quit for 4 years and started back again after the last hurricane that came thru here...

Congrats on the first day!! You did it!!

I fell off the wagon already. Had a couple of cigs the last two days. Just three though for the whole two days so it is still a good thing. I am going to keep trying though.

Thanks for all the encouragement. It is going to be a hard road. I am eating alot to compensate for the lack of cigs.

good luck!

Ask your doc for zyban or budeprion. It helps.

Are those the pills for stopping smoking? I don't know much about them. Are they safe? I know that sounds silly considering smokings harmful effects but the side effects from some pills are really bad.

I had probuprion for the first time I quit. Dose was too much. I have budeprion now. Like that much better. Less high. Less craving. More relaxed.

The nicotine patch help alot of people

Okay no cigs yesterday and none today so far and less of the gum too. I am scared to leave the house because I want to buy a pack of cigs really really bad. My mind keeps telling me one little puff won't hurt.

I spent the day yesterday reading all the bad things cigs do to us, hoping it would help me but I am still jonesing.

I may have to call the doc about some pills. I don't like wellbutrin though. I have had some friends who took it and they had some problems. Wellbutrin is the bupropion.

Well I guess this will be the log of my progress. Hope it ends with me not smoking ever again.

You're doing good, Dragoness.

Just some info. about my Dad. He tried to quit smoking several times. My Mom would call him Hitler because of his mood. lol A couple of times he went to a motel room to be alone when he was withdrawing off the cigs. He tired the gum too. Nothing worked.

Well, he did quit. It's been at least 12 years now. He says that the only way he was able to quit was with Bupropion and the patch. He also stayed on them longer then most. He said that the Buproprion made him not care that he wasn't smoking.
