Day One

welcome I too, am 46 and I have been smoking since college... This is day 2 for me... I just read Allen Carr's "The Little Book of Quitting" He has another "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking". I have not been able to get a copy of the second but he talks about not concentrating on the misery of not smoking, but to be excited and positive about being a non smoker.. YEA!!

Hi everybody

stef wow!!! 4 weeks! I am so impressed. Just my 3 day and that seems so far away. You off to a great start. Allen Carr's book has really helped me, too. NOPE works for me because that's how I lost my last quit. I thougt I could have one a day for about a week... which turned into a pack a day. Live and learn..

Day three

Chris How are things with you today?? This is my second quit in 12 months. I quit last summer for about 90 days. I could breathe, bike ride, and run.. For some reason I thought that i could have one cig a day for about a week. The next thing I knew... I was back to pack a day.. I am using the patch during the day and using PM drug for the evening and sleeping like a baby. this is the beginnin for day four and this quit has been much easier than the first. The cravings pass... good luck M [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/30/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 3 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 60 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $9.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 30 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5
