New start on Sunday...

My Story So, I quit smoking on December 23, 2005 with the help of the nicotine patch. I "went off the patch" on February 14, 2006. I had "just a couple drags" off a cigarette on February 16, 2006. I started a new job on February 20, 2006, and one of the girls I was training with smokes, so I started going out for breaks with her. And smoking cigarettes on those breaks. I put a patch on again on February 23, and didn�t on February 24. I�ve been smoking (during work hours) ever since. I broke down and bought a pack on February 27. So, now that you�re all up to date with "my story", I can tell you that I plan on going back on the patch on Sunday...I�m afraid that in order to STAY quit, I�ll never be able to stop using it...I�ll be on the patch forever... Ex-Breaker, Lucy

I'm back...

...this time for good. I finally took the plunge (again) and quit today. This time has to be my forever-quit...I can't continue this yo-yo-ing. I have my list, my gum, my water, and my wedding coming ever-closer...and hopefully the SSC hasn't given up on me yet... Anyway, I'll check in periodically, depending how busy I am at work.

This is helping me - thought I'd share it

Great idea cybrduke! I bought a stress-ball on Tuesday and keep it in my bag for when craves hit...probably not as satisying, but easier to carry around!!
