I feel better even though I have gained some weight and am working on getting more exercise. I found the QB and am having so much fun that I don't even have time to miss smoking.
So sometimes the things we give up for quilting are good things to give up!!! :lol:[/quote]
I too had giving up smoking over a year ago but started up again recently and everyday I am mad at myself for going back. It is very hard to stop "cold turkey" but that was the third time I had stopped. I never seemed to lose the desire. I truly want to quit and am going on a bus with a totally non smoking group. My hope is that my will power will hold out this next week and I can say again that I have given it up once again.
I admire your stamina. Keep up the good work.
I don't have a support group, i.e. spouse, etc, live alone so no one to fuss at me.
PS: what is DD and DH?

Keep trying, keep trying, keep trying!!! In this instance everyone loves a quitter. It wasn't easy and I used the Rx drug Chantix for the first month. I highly recommend it everyone out there that needs help. If you don't have insurance call Pfizer and they have programs to help pay for it or give it for free. That being said Please talk with your primary care physcian before and really reseach the drug, it isn't appropriate for every one.
Good Luck!!

I too tried the Chantix but is caused ill effects. I think WILL POWER if the best way. Just how do you keep from going back?

I'm not really sure, just pure will power I think. I just don't think about it and it really never bothers me. I have not been tempted even once to pick up a pack since the day I quit. Just take one day, one hour at a time and tell yourself I can do it and keep busy with something else and that really helps.
