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!
