Good for you. I don't want to get some horrible disease. I haven't had one in 5 days. I'm just trying to get through one day at a time. I talk myself out of them and I have had some lozenges and gum and a few patches but not many. I am going to chew freedent when the other patch is gone. I'm praying for you. You are helping yourself and others. God bless you.

I have been trying to quit as well but couldn't ..is there any way to quit permanently.

How is it going? I'm nearing my 1 yr smoke free, it has not been easy but it IS possible. Hope to offer encouragement.

We struggle with things like this in life seeking a way out. I remember reading from "Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman about smoking problems. He suggest that making the body very healthy will help a person to stop the habit. You might want to try his book and lifestyle changes. I wish the best for you.

I was sold on Jesus Christ very early in life. Later, I have included the wisdom of Dr. Joel Fuhrman's advice for my body's health. I have enjoyed (to me) great Christian singers like Don Francisco and Keith Green. I have married a wonderful and beautiful soul, my wife and have been blessed with two unique loving sons. With God, we can be very blessed, be patient and keep praying and trying.

I used the patch faithfully over 16 weeks as directed, chewed on cinnamon toothpicks (which really helped) and called friends when needed for support. My husband was also a smoker and although he smoked outside the house and tried to keep his cigs locked in his truck he still reeked and would go out after a meal to smoke.
It was hard, I had to take it one moment, sometimes one second at a time but slowly the urge relented and my mind went to other things rather than what I was denying myself. I focused on fresh air, new scents, less coughing, I have not had nearly the allergies this year and no laryngitis since stopping!
Hang in there, it can be done, focus on what you are gaining not losing.

btw my husband did stop smoking 4 months ago. We both smoked for nearly 30 years and now are tobacco free PRAISE GOD!

Chew lots of gum, don't hang out with smokers, don't drink, keep busy and keep reminding yourself that having just 1 cigerette can cause cancer.

I went for awhile without smoking and now am going to try to quit again. I have the ecig and am going to get the filters with no nicotine in them. Please pray for me, too. I am praying for all of you to keep the cigs at bay one molecule at a time.

OP you manage to quit? It's such a hard thing to do but worth it. I need a accountability buddy :/

 

[coddy]

Maybe using e-cigarette is a first step to quit smoking

 

[Gracelands]

i'm quitting today. I'm determined.. ive got a patch and i'm going to use it. Nicoteens days are numbered.

Its a good idea to have accountability buddies.


Hey Saleena. Haven't seen you for a bit. Hope youre winning.

I'm using blue ecigarettes. I got the starter kit at Walgreen's. I'm taking one day at a time. I was smoking an awful lot before the ecig.

I'm praying for everyone.
