1 1/2 packs of smokes left. I'm kinda getting 'sick' of smoking!!:tongue: I am going to finish what I have, and after that, chew gum, eat mints, or go for a walk. I really want to try and quit. I figure I'll feel a whole lot better when I do. I'll be 'out' of smokes Friday morning, so I'm going to start my quit days then!!happy Wish me luck!! I've tried quitting before, did for a while, but picked 'em up again!! This time, I want to be done comepletely!! I need some support from my friends here, and of course my family will be behind me, cuz they've been asking me to quit for years!!:smile:

Kuddos to you and the best of luck come the first week of January it will be 7 years for me. Cold turkey from 3 packs a day...

I used straws that I cut up to chew on and to hold like cigarettes,sugar free hard candy and then the days it was real bad I did a lot of yard work or cleaned house fiscal work was for the days that the urges were the worst.

I also figured out how much I would save a month and used a 1/2 of what I saved to buy me something I wanted or treat myself to a real nice dinner or outfit......for at least the first 3-4 months as a bonus for not smoking......

It helps to have a goal to focus on for unless quitting is something you really want to do it is really hard to follow through with it....

I wish you only the best just don't give in to those urges when they happen get busy real busy work out walk what ever it takes....good luck..:thumbsup:

Yay! you're going to quit them nasty old cigs.Good for U.;)It can be done w/ some determination & willpower.It's primarily an oral fixation so U need to substitute them w/ hard candies,gum,etc.(try to use sugar-less).Stay busy also.Godspeed!Cy :smile: drinker

As long as you got your MIND made up, " U Kin Do It"

The mind is a very powerful tool. Use It.

It can be done.
I'm going on two months.
A little hard candy. No patch, gum or anything else.
I had to visualize smoking as a death wish and realize I would rather live than die.
Best to ya'!

It totally can be done. I just decided that I wasn't wasting anymore money buying cancer...I've got enough to deal with right now. Just stopped one day. Now that's not to say it was easy (or that I haven't cheated)...but I've done fairly good for 3 months. So, CONGRATULATIONS!
