Welcome Coach Don,
You've come to the right place for "real support". Times are going to get rough the first week or so, but you can do it and we will help.
I'm using Chantix (a non-nicotine rx). It gets rid of the cravings without putting the nicotine back in your system. The main thing I'm working on is the habit.
Since I quit once before cold turkey and was a non-smoker or 10 years, and went back to smoking again:
I feel experienced in some of the methods of quitting that the others are using as I have tried to quit several times these past 13 or so years for the second time with no success.
Don't be afraid to try something different if one doesn't work. the Chantix is by far (for me) the best product I have tried.
If you have any questions, just want to vent, or need help...call on us and post in here. Good luck Coach Don...auntdeb :)
