Here is something I did to help me at work. I listen to music at my desk. If you can do that, I think it helps the time pass. I am able to listen to a christian radio station off the web and it really helps me. Maybe you could find a station that has the kind of music you like.
I have an easier time at work than at home because I know I couldn't get away with smoking without everyone here knowing. The main problem I had at work was the time distortion. Are you haveing trouble with that? (time doesn't seem to move)

Thank you soooo much for the names Zany! I have wanted to do that and havn't had the patience to go through the thread (that lack of concentration thing)
So anyone who wants to join, you can copy the list, paste it into your post and add your name.
Let's be sure to all check in as much as possible so we can know if we are losing someone. It would be sooooo awsome to have everyone with us a year from now!
In case you havn't gotten a chance to read my despirate posts, I had a slip this weekend but I am here now and not leaving. I reset my quit meter. I'm not going to let any of you down.
Love,
Thank you,
Mama

Hi, Mama here and since I had my slip this weekend and started using the patch, I would like to hear about other peoples experience with the patch. I have had trouble getting off of them in the past so I am going to the doctor tomorrow and talk to him about getting Zyban or the equivialt to maybe help with that part. The patch has made it so much easier for me I can't believe it. (maybe after being cold turkey for 16 days, maybe my body is appreciating the nicotine, Haha)
Anyways, what benefits will I still maybe notice even though I am on patches? What benefits will I not get because of the patches?
Also, I need some opinions about the Zyban idea. You see, I don't really want to feel that I am just trying the same things that didn't work before over and over. When I used the patches, I went almost 3 months and then couldn't seem to stand going off of them.
Also, the biggest problem I was having with the cold turkey was serious depression, which I am going to talk to the doctor about tomorrow. So maybe that will be killing two birds with one stone.
What dosage is considered theraputic with the Zyban?
Are the generics and Wellbutrin just as good?
Thank you every one for your help and support this weekend. My slip certainly didn't happen because of lack of loving support. I am not going to let you down.
Thank you,
Mama

For Two weeks, last night, my daughter and I went out to eat at olive garden and then we got our nails, feet and eyebrows done. We won't be able to do that all the time though because my money saved was only $70.00 or something and we spent $130.00. I am going to go shopping this weekend to find out how much a gold N.O.P.E. bracelet may cost me that I really like. Then when I have saved that much money, I will buy it.
The more I think about that bracelet the more I like the idea.

I will be looking soon too! But the ones I always wanted before (the ones in church that seemed so nice) wouldn't have had a thing to do with me when I was smoking. I still don't know if they will or not because I have not tryed...
I am still raising kids (my youngest is only 13) so I have a lot of years before I can put any time into that. By then, I certainly wouldn't have anything to do with someone who smokes any more that they (the non smokers) would have anything to do with me when I smoked.

Ok, I found a stat that 3000 kids a day start smoking. Now if 450,000 die each year from smoking, 3000 a day start (1,095,000 a year) and 5% accomplish quiting 2,250,000, when will smoking be dead?
I know someone out there likes to figure out this kind of thing.
