Give and get support around quitting
The aim is to help you get you into accepting and implementing changes in your
thought process when you are craving a cigarette so that you can walk through it
or step around it empowered.

I'm Lisa. My quit date is set for February 11, 2017 and I am using the patch and lozenges....
Feb. 6, 2017. 40 + years of smoking. Been cutting back for a while now, but I want to put them down totally.
When people get to around 5 or less the physical addiction kicks in. Those receptors have a pain threshold. 🙂
So stay in touch as it's the time I suggest you quit rather than trying to go down one per day to zero as you are in withdrawal more time than necessary.
The nicotine leaves your body in 72 hours. There's 2-3 weeks of symptoms
My second time around is 01/31/2017. I am using patches.
Sounds Good!
You know the drill. 🙂
Hi, my name is Lisa. My quit date is February 11th and I'm using the nicotine patch system and lozenges. I've been smoking for 30 years, and it's really time to quit...
Chantix starting on Feb 13, quit dates Feb 20.... both Mondays. I am a bit of a serial quitter so I haven't quit in a couple years. This will be my best chance. I am joining here and maybe a personal coach.
Hi cig_poet. Good for you. I get the serial quitter thing. I didn't tell many people because I was embarrassed. I am on day 12 and started with the patch but went off of it 4 days ago because I'm so allergic to the adhesive. This time I am telling myself, and really believing, that smoking did NOTHING to improve my life. That addiction to smoking is just something that the tobacco industry convinced us is true and that people should suffer when they quit. I know, crazy, right? But...it seems to be working. We are here for each other and this site is the support I needed to help me be successful.....finally!!
