Thursday night I decided to quit the cigarettes..

I relapsed couple of years ago (after 4 years of abstinence wink)..and ever since I've been smoking pack a day..

It's been three days and counting so far..going from a pack to none..

Anyone has a comment on their smoking habits or anyone who wants to join the non smokers club with me conversing

Yep...unfortunately, me too. I try, and with the patch I make it down to 5 cigarettes a day...but can't seem to actually quit. I'm still below a pack a day from my last time trying it, but not by that much. sigh Someday.

Good luck, Kamelia. I hope you do it, especially since you did it before. hug

I quit 8 years ago and as ive stated before and it works

Everytime i wanted a cigarette i just ran to the bathroom and cleaned my teeth . It gave me something to do and the taste of colgate perked up my taste buds ridding the craving ..

Hey that is three of you going for it.
I remember the times I would say; I want to quit but......I enjoy it.
It was different the day I said this it it! I am quiting.
Having made up my mind did it.

Drink a lot of fruit juice the nicotine is rinsed out in just a few days.
It is the mental thing.
The craving only last a very short time so do something to distract yourself.

Think about this; you are smoking over 4000 chemicals.

sigh

Yes, it is sooo hard to quit... I've widdled it down to about 5 cigs a day. I recently found out my lil 17 yr old cousin is smoking now, which motivates me to quit more now...!!!
