Confession is good for the soul

UH OHHHHH! Peteg, don't go! You can do this! I know you can! Yeah, you smoked a whole pack. but you don't have too! We are all human. Capable of being so weak and simple minded. You were honest with yourself and confessed. It's good for the soul. Yes we are disappointed and well, ummmmmm... The only thing that comes to mind to explain it is tough love. FYI I hated my mother for giving it and then sayin in a high pitch voice that would stab like a knife... THIS IS WHY I DID IT,,, TOUGH LOVE... BLAH BLAH.. BLAH.BLAB.LABLAbb.BLAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. Now, Get back up on the wagon and knock the Nicodemen off your shoulder. He doesn't love you. He is only here to torture you. YOU CAN DO THIS!

2 weeks for MaMaG!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! YOU GUYS! BUT TWO WEEKS?!!! Who knew?! I mean, REALLY! At the end of the day I have to be proud. It has been soooo long since I last quit, I'd say over 5 years ago, not counting 5 days I went cold turkey two weeks before I came here. This is hard. . . but I've been through worse! If I can do this, I can do anything... I said that at my lowest point after knocking on death's door and I made it. I know I can do this too. I can't wait to see a month! :) Oh yeah, and the stats. The stats bring it home too! Makes it seem real. Thank You All!

Patch Users... ???

Hello. Haven't really posted in awhile on the actual quiting but I'm looking for a few answers and advice... So I had to stock up on another round of patches yesterday and the package said not to use more than 8 weeks. Should I not go for another round or should I just step down after this. I will have (2)step ones completed by next Saturday. Or, Is it saying not to use step one for more than 8 weeks? So another question. . . How long have some of you used each step? Just wondering.

Patch Users... ???

I'll be there after I get Boss up with a beer in my hand! I gotta keep that hand/mouth cordination up! :p Yeah, I'm thinking it means the latter, not to use step one for more than 8 weeks but I'll call my pharmacist to make sure. I was planning on a 6 week total using step one but I've been throwing around the idea of going to step two next time. I dunno, I just wanna move ahead right into step two in two weeks for some reason. I'm just undecided right now. Maybe I'll see how these two weeks end up and go from there.
