Hey Ex-Slave, Love your name! :) I am also proud of you for going 2 days. I agree not to use an NRT. I think they do make the withdrawal more gradual and get you hooked on them too. I remember I chewed nicorette a lot more than it was suggested lol so much that my jaw would hurt. I started this quit with the patch. After I read Allen Carr's book, I removed the patch. I want to be free of the drug. The important thing is to quit but I do agree that using an NRT only prolongs the inevitable. Be a non-smoker. Do not smoke and do not mourn the death sticks. We are here for you!

Hi there, you have my respect also because I know how hard it is to actually start a quit. You have gone 2 days already and that is a great start, make sure you use the quit program over on the left and come here as often as you need to for help, advice and motivation.

[IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f190/cuddlebug230/welcome10.gif[/IMG] ex-slave Congratulations on 2 days Remember the 3 P�s- POSITIVE attitude [very necessary] POST often [their is almost always someone here to post when you are in need of support] & Not One PUFF ever [It is hard to stop after one puff} Cuddles It's better to be a non-smoker with an occasional desire for a cig than a smoker with a constant desire to quit......

Hi everyone, What a great site! I have smoked for 33 years and had many, many, attempts at quitting in my past. I have used every kind of NRT that is made, at least twice, plus I've gone to nicotine anonymous meetings at 2 different periods in my life. I am on day 2. I sucked on the 2mg nic lozenges today at work, but I am going cold turkey while at home this evening. I have always used NRT in my past failed attempts, and am wondering if the NRT just keeps me craving. My last quit, I used NRT for over a year. I went from the patch, to the gum, to the lozenges. Then my mother passed away, I bought a couple packs, smoked about ten a day and now I am getting it under control to stay quit. I haven't had one puff for two days. I can't go back to that life. I have shortness of breath and cough terribly when i smoke. I know that all of you have gone through this quitting process, and you have my utmost respect. I will be around.

hi I haven't been to this sight in awhile but it's in my "favorites" on my computer and I check it on occasion to remeber how it felt the firt few days. I just read your post and 33 years wow - I'd just like to say I quit many times before this too but this sight is what did it for me - granted I smoked for about 12 years but nonetheless it was this sight that made the difference - good luck to you and just read the posts a lot - it feels good talking to people about it - I never ever thought I would be here thanks d.a.n. aka dude against nicotine [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/25/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 518 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,778 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2849 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 67 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20
