I quit after 32 yrs by using a fake cigarette. It looked like an ob tampon and made my kids giggle, but it worked. I never, or rarely, think about having a cigarette, but in my dreams i still smoke! Smoke used to smell sooo good to me, but not any more. Now i understand why people ask others to smoke outside! Lol.
I'm proud of you! It is a very hard addiction to quit!

Don't give up on her, I quit tens of times and then one day, I just quit and have not smoked again and it has been over 5 years. I can't say that periodically I don't want one, but since I live in the country and the store is far and I am too lazy to go there, and I don't have any smokes, the feeling goes away.

OOps, forgot to say Congratulations Mary!! It is difficult, but it can be done!

So happy for you. I know how hard it is. And my advice is never take that first puff again no matter what the reason/excuse. Keep up the good effort.

Congratulations, I have heard quitting cigarettes is one of the hardest addictions to over come.

Good for you. Keep your mind set on the fact that you NEVER want to smoke again. I think I about went crazy when I quit! Have not smoked for 7 years. It was before chantix. I did get the zyban after a few weeks. I also used nicoderm in the beginning. I gave myself gifts!!! You have to do that with the money you save! Also exercise a lot if you can, drink lots of water and do deep breathing exercises. Just do one day at a time. Congratulations, be proud of yourself!!!

Grats that is one hard thing to do. I know, since I just quit last Feb. But I am still not smoking, and there are times when I wish I had a cigarette, but I don't so I just go on.

Wow, sending you big congrats on this seemingly impossible task. I have never smoked but I do know how hard it
is to quit. Have several friends & even my DH was a smoker at one time but it CAN BE DONE. Don't give up & just
keep plugging away. Buy yourself something really nice & momentous to mark this special event.

WAY TO GO!!! I just spent 225 on laser therapy. Need I say it didn't work. I already know I have no will power. I will keep trying different things until I can say I QUIT!!.
Just keep on doing what you're doing and best wishes.
