I have smoked for nearly 28 years, and have tried to quit 8 times. I always seemed to fail on Day 4. I am a "secret smoker", so I have been smoking and quitting all alone. No one to encourage me, to listen, or to offer advice. And I have been unable to listen to others and offer encouragement. I genuinely feel that if I were more connected to an interactive community, I would feel more connected to my quit. And that's why I'm here.
I've gifted myself with 10 days to complete the program here, to read and study the material, to practice my quit ahead of time, and to gather up my supplies. No shortcuts, no skipping ahead, no rushing. This is my Quit and my Life we're talking about here, so skimping is not allowed.

Ended my Nicotine Replacement Therapy (lozenges) after 62 days. I will be forever grateful that I chose to medicate myself while I focused on breaking free of the poisons, pollutants, and incessant cigarette rituals. I chose to use NRT, but not abuse it. And it saved my life.
