I’m week 3 now and struggling but what had kept me going is changing a few basics. I’ve been walking of a morning only a few blocks and riding the bike to work one or two days a week.

I used to smoke some 20 cigs per day. I had tried many times to stop - but without success. Then I met this gorgeous lady who said "You have to stop smoking if you want to get me into bed". So I used one of my strongest project management techniques to help me.

Can anyone suggest some rewards that don't involve food? As i am worried about my waistline while i quit. Things more along the pampering line that don't involve spending to much money either im also trying to save. Today is my qui...

I have a few questions... I quit around a week ago after smoking a pack a day for a little over a year. I assumed that after the four days passed, so would the symptoms. While they have decreased, I'm still having trouble concentrating and communicating. My mind is so foggy I have trouble forming coherent sentences at times. It's really inconvenient since I'm in school and this is an important ti...
