Hello there!

The holidays are getting closer...I cannot possibly quit before NYE.

I'm being realistic.....Is mid January too late?

Hi, I am new here.  I had set my quit day for January 1st but the smoking was giving me such bad headaches I actually quit on December 23rd.  I am on the patch and I do fine pretty much the only time I have a problem is when I'm at work and my co-workers (smokers) ask if I want to go on break with them.  I am such a sucker because I can't say no and then end up bumming one from them.  They know that I'm trying to quit but they just make fun saying that I quit but bum.  Any suggestions?

Ok today is the day I quit.....I told my daughter that I had my last cig at 6pm. She told me when I feel like lighting up just text her she' s be there.

Having had whopping cough in Sept 2012, I decided that enough was enough.  I haven't smoked since.  I have quit before and was smoke free for 2 years and then decided that "just one" wouldn't hurt.  Kept the smoking under control for awhile but it quickly got out of hand.  I then continued for 5 years!!  

Even though I haven't smoked since september 2012, I still have hard moments.  I am using nicotine lozenges and seem to be "hooked"  on them.  Was hoping to be off of them by now.  Wondering if anyone else is using the NRT and what you're doing to stop?  

My thoughts of smoking can be pretty strong at times and right now I am just waiting them out and hope I can continue being strong enough to do that.

I am having a really hard time not smoking. My depression is getting the best of me and not helping. I feel like i am losing a battle between to evils.
