And Damn Hard !!!!!!!!! 35 yrs of Smoking then Cold turkey..... I still crave a cig at time, but just say no, is hard to do ...... But Not had one drag, Congrats to anyone who has the willpower it takes....

Dan:
I've actually mentioned to a few people here about the method you described.
They plan on trying it.
Some people just can't do the 'cold turkey' method.
Kudos for bringing this up.
thumbs up

Congrats brother! Keep the faith.
I used the patch for a 2 week period as a jump start. After that I've been running on desire to quit. It's now been 4 weeks and 3 days without a smoke and like I've heard others say, If I Can Do It Anyone Can Do It!

Just a slight correction..
The cigarette manufacturers have been keeping their costs considerably low. The majority of the cost per pack is due to governmental tax gouging. professor

Raven0: I've heard that the drug champex works really well.


Hiya Raven! wave Yeah, Chantex works REALLY well. I smoked for 50+ years. Tried quitting numerous times; nothing worked. Tried Chantex and have been off for about 6 months now. Fantastic product and I HIGHLY recommend for anyone who seriously wants to quit. You have to use for 3 to 4 months, but it reduces the cravings to a managable level. Worked for me and I wasn't sure anything ever would.

I have heard a few people say how great Chantex is working for them. Good to know.

YouMeUs. Well. My update. I crashed and went to the store for smokes. But I took Dan's advice and bought a lighter brand and am keeping track of when/why. I'm going to try reducing the nicotine over a couple weeks. I did try Champex last year (a friend had great success with it), but I was allergic to it.

Jono, you're doing great!

I think you said your cut off date was May 23rd?

We're all rooting for you. Just think how good life will be as a non-smoker. And if you ever have a weak moment and think about smoking again, just ask yourself, if it is such a good idea, why did you go through so much to quit?

Good luck!!!



DanYOU CAN DO THIS !!!!!!!!!!
