I started my quit on june 1st and had a slip. I just reset my quit meter. just go to personal information, change the quit date and start a new beginning. Let the past stay the past.
You can join the June-bugs! We have a great group going! See our roll call thread to get to know us. http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?forum=16&topic=2994

I just calculated mine on another thread and it would be 335,800 cigarettes, which is 1,679 cartons, which is about $38,617 in today's prices. Wow.

P.S. I e-mailed to my new singles prayer group. They gave me the directory so I could e-mail if I had trouble but I used it for you. That is about 250 people here in Houston praying for you. The bible says that He is there whereever two or more are agreeing in prayer. So you have His help. If you can't resist, lean on His strenth. He will be your refuge.

You are probly right that there are a lot of people in your life that don't even know you ever smoked! How shocked would they be if you started again! And would you want to be subject to all that judgement again. (remember having to stand outside like a refuge?)
I would care very deeply because you have given me hope.
Love,
Mama

GOOD JOB EVERYONE! Checking in. I took the Wellbutrin this morning and I don't know what is doing it, but I am really sleepy. The doctor also changed my blood pressure medicine yesterday, and I also am not used to eating in the morning so I don't know what is making me so sleepy.
I'm feeling strong. I hope all the June-bugs are strong and smokefree today. I know I will be.
Let us know how you are doing.
Love,
Mama

Just hang in there. This quitting stuff is like the weather in Houston, If you don't like it, wait a while, it will change. I also had a lot of depression and sadness in my third week and I let it get to me and lost my quit. I had to restart my quit meter! I would have had 22 days today if I had not done that! So just hang in there and do somethings besides smoking that might make you feel better. Don't do something that you are going to regret later.
Love,
Mama

Hi! I still didn't gain or lose anything, which is exactly what I want to do. I am still counting WW points, and I seem to be exactly where I should be and I got to have a Chili Burger at Willies on Sunday with my church group and still did not gain a single once. I think that is great!
My doctor started me on Wellbutrin yesterday to help me during the step down time on the patches in 6 weeks. I have heard opionons that it helps you not gain weight, and I've heard it makes you gain weight. That is one thing that is so frustrating about the quiting smoking thing is no one knows for sure. Maybe the researchers could skip studing that it is bad for you and start studying how to quit and how the process works in your body. That would be a big help, because everyone knows how bad it is for you now.
Anyways, the quit did not go so great this week but my diet did.
Thanks,
Mama

Checking in on Friday morning, still here, smoke free and feeling pretty good. I am dreading the weekend though, that seems to be my worse time.

My first week, my 16 year old and I had a fight and that is really tough. Yes, it does make you want to smoke bad. But here is what I am trying to remember. I don't like fighting with her when I'm smoking either. Smoking doesn't really help, that's just a lie of the nicodemon that it helps. I don't like all that confrontation no matter what. If I was shooting up heroin, drunk, stoned and on a IV drug I still wouldn't like it. There is nothing that would make me enjoy those horrible teenage fits, nothing, including cigarettes. So why ruin my quit over her?
Love,
Mama

OK, i have been working so hard at being positive and hopefull, but i need to admit to you guys that I am still having smoking desires, even on this patch. I am really tired of asking "is this and that normal" and you guys are probly tired of me asking it so I'm not asking that. I'm just saying that even with the patch, I still sometimes want to smoke.
It's really a lot easier than the cold turkey was, the nicodemon is mellower, but i think the patch alerts him of the possibility of his mortality in me. I think the patch really just "takes the edge off" of it.
Anyways, that said, I am still doing better than I was.
