Hi guys tomorrow is the day I’m stopping this habit. I have thrown out all cigarettes and everything. I’m a little bit nervous because my previous attempts have failed. But I really want to stop this habit. I’m cold turkey and a patch during the day is what I’m going to do. Does anyone recommend anything else to help me get through the first few days?

This won't be easy .I have smoked for 35 years but im determined to do this .this is my first time to try quiting and my last I'm 3 days in and crave a smoke but I'm saying to myself I don't need a smoke and having a piece of gum

Well technically 3 days 17hrs smoke free, but just finishing up Day 4. This was the 1st day I was worrying about, since I was back at work. I do a lot of work related driving and usually spend my days smoking while out and about. Before my quit day I practiced a few times driving to places without lighting up to show myself I could do it. Think it helped becuse I got through today quite essily ...

this is day 81 for me. I have been told by my surgeon he would not operate on my back unless I stopped smoking for at least 3 months. This was the final push I needed to stay committed. My grandchildren have been constantly telling me about the black lungs I will have and to please "no more cigaretting gran". I really want to do this and your stories have helped me tremendously. I thought it woul...

I am wanting to give up again. Finding it very hard. Please help I have had a few attempts to quit. Just need motivation & support.

Im using Zyban and have been on it for 6 days with 1 tablet, but tomorrow I start taking 2. I used Zyban last time and no physical cravings(only mental ones) but it does have side effects. Difficult to explain, but I can do i...

We know now that no forewarned health scares, no money problems, nor threats will stop you from smoking in most cases. It is the true desire to want to quit. I am not saying that you may not have mixed feelings and be a bit afraid of what life will be like without it. Nor that you have to say you hate cigarettes. Its a journey, like any other. You don't just embark on it. First you had...

I thought it would be fun to get to know your fellow passengers.

I just joined this site and am not sure if there will be a response. I smoked for 50 years. I loved smoking. I got sick as I have in the past and needed meds to help with what was probably bronchitis. I suddenly found my self unale to breathe and ended up in the hospital with pnemonia for 4 days. I quit immediately. this was april 18. I am having a hard time staying off smoking, don't want ...

We had a bit of a discussion on statistics involving quitting smoking. The numbers in themselves may seem dismal, but statistics are set and presented to serve the purpose of selling products. Strangely enough, even the nrt manufactureres put in their small instructions to use their product with councelling. (That would include this forum). So who ever is out there, know that you have alread...
