Good for you!!! That's awesome! Best thing you could do for yourself and your pocket book. You should put the cost of a pack of cigs. in a jar every morning and then use the money to go on a fabulous vacation to celebrate being a non smoker.

You CAN do it. I did. I smoked since, er, Ford was president.
Take advantage of every support opportunity, if you find you need it. My hospital gave free nicotine patches to staff (I had already quit). Many people had success with a patch.

Every day without is a one more day of life.

It's a bitch, but can be done. I quit over 3 years ago and wish I'd done it years sooner. Mr. coriander has a quit smoking support website, which I'd be happy to give you a link to if you want.

It's well worth the effort. Good for you - you will feel better. :cheer:

I stopped three years ago. Smoked over a pack a day. Never thought I could do it. I used this and it WORKED:

Now, the patches are hard to find (they are herbal but man, they work.) Seems like Nicocure now comes in pill form which it did not before but I would imagine, if it works like the patch, then it too will work. I HIGHLY recommend the patch though if you can get it.

Good for you MGP! I quit for good 2 years ago - on my 3rd try. It was easy to quit the first time, but hard to stay that way around friends that smoked and continuing to live the life I was living. The second time I quit was harder to quit. This last time (and the reason I am still not smoking) was easy because I finally got it through my head that I didn't need nicotine to get through anything. I didn't need it to help me handle stress, or depression, or anger - I could handle those on my own. I think I started on the process to quit with Horseless's mentality of thinking that things would send me over the edge - and with that mindset, of course they did. But I realized there will ALWAYS be something that could send me over the edge and that's just the way life is. I could either smoke or not - it was only killing me (yeah, i know about 2nd hand, but this was my motivation) - and I choose not.

Best of luck to you - and buy plenty of gum or hard candies!!

How's it going? Stay hydrated - it's easy to mistake thirst for a nicotine crave. Of course it's easy to mistake everything for a nicotine crave in the early days, but before you know it, you will stop thinking about it. Keep us posted. :cheer:

Yay MGP! Another ex-smoker here. I quit about 10 years ago. I didn't smoke a ton -- maybe 2-3 a day, and some days none at all -- and it still was tough to break the rituals. But so worth it. You will feel soooooo much better!

So far, so good. No cravings, and lots of support.

I think I've weaned myself off...just didn't really want to smoke anymore.

Let's hope it sticks - especially when horse show season starts. That'll be the test!
