Good Morning from Boston -and my First day of Quitting (but umpteenth attempt)

[outoftunefiddler]

I thought I would quit today, but wound up asking a friend for a smoke...

Been smoking a long time and I find this very very difficult. Can anyone offer advice?

Hi Rich,

All i can say is all my attempts  failed.

This time I quit. We  need to make the commitment.

I've been on the patch almost 5 weeks now.

I'm done, I refuse to smoke.

I'm not saying I don't miss smoking, but now I wonder why I miss it.

You can do it, if you want to

Hi Rich,

Have you tried the patch, chantix or zyban.  You may just need a little help. Hang in there.

I have tried, in no particular order, the Patch, the Lozenge(2), the nasal spray, and the gum. I asked ther doctor if mebbe he suppositories....They might work for me where nothing else has worked, thus far. I just this moment ran out of the Pall Malls and the convenience store is RIGHT next to the Starbucks where I am, but I'm not gonna do it. I'm going to think of all the $$$$ I can save- and how,if I stop, I wont have to bring (shopping) bags full of breathing meds home. and I'llsmell better.....

Can I do dis?

Regards from Boston

Get the Book "The Easy way to quit smoking" by Allen Carr and puff away as you read it- he encourages it. You will quit when you are done. 🙂

I had to look and look and look to find this page again. Thanks, everyone for the support. I have one (1) day without smoking using no paraphenalia. Today doc prescribed me some Nicotine Lozenges.Think all of the $$$$$$$$$$$ we'll save!

It's now going on (almost) three (3) days without the drug. Who woulda thunk I could do this?
