unhooked, Your starting with a great coping mechanism, good for you! Take the time to look around and read what others have used to help them. Enlist in your doctor and pharmacists help to come up with a plan that is right for you :) Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.

I hear that, Bear. I have been through a lot of adversity in my life & have always been able to keep my sense of humour & see the lighter side. I think the reason I've had trouble seeing quitting that way is because when I don't smoke, I don't feel like myself & I'm less sure of my view of the world. BUT, as I said earlier, I have never asked for help or support before & that alone has already made a big difference. I can see from reading here that many of you are able to laugh at yourselves, each other & the entire situation we're all in & I absolutely love that! I feel so optimistic & positive about this and I know I can do it.

Yes and yes. I know your probably thinking this is insane how can quiting an addiction to a drug be fun ?? I just refuse to let this thing drag me down to the point of desperation.Yes it,s a battle and withdrawel will test your intestinal fortitude both physicaly and mentaly. All I,m saying is that you can go in to this with a spirit of desperation or tackle it with a light heart and a little humor.. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/21/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 51 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 931 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $510 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 7

No, for sure not my first time & yes, I'm Canadian. I agree, you do have to follow the rules with the patch & congrats for doing so well with it. Did you use "fun" & "quit" In the same sentence???

This is not you first time tackling this problem right ?? I use the patch and it,s not my 1,rst time using it either. What I have learned is you have to go the full 9 yards with this product NO SHORTCUTS. At $12.00 a deck you must be Canadian. We,re going to have a lot of fun with this quit I personally guaronte it. ;p

Thanks for the support, everyone. Bear, I was still deciding what, if any, aid I was going to use when I up & quit so no, not using anything so far. I may give tHE patch another go if it looks like I'll need soMEthing. I did borrow someone's idea from this site, though. I have an elastic band on my wrist & I have written NOPE & dollar signs on it. It's a good reminder & I can snap it for something to do with my hands!

Good for you Unhooked! Welcome aboard! Please take the time to work through our online quit program. It will help you prepare for cravings and other triggers. It will also give you an idea and strategies to help with withdrawals. If you have any questions, just ask. Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team
