Welcome Astrofan ;) Best wishes and congrats on your decision. Hope to talk with you often as you make this journey to freedom from the nicodemon. Take one minute at a time when necessary. Come to the SSC as often as you can to see that this can certainly be accomplished and how many others are getting through this.

OK Astrofan! Way to go! You can get through this. If I can do it..anyone can. I smoked for 35 years, and the last 8 years was 2 packs a day. I gets easier everyday.

Hi Astrofan. Welcome! I'm glad to hear you cruised through day 1 - very impressive. I just finished my 10 week patch program and found they worked really well. I noticed a huge difference on my treadmill after about 1 week. The lung capacity and stamina were great surprises after such a short time. It's only gotten better since. I'm only up 5 pds, but I don't have a large frame so I'm quite conscious about it. I'm really starting to buckle in on the weight machine and t-mill to get rid of it before summer comes. Congrats to you and I hope Day 2 goes as well as Day 1 for you.

hi folks , well i was supposed to start last friday , and a lot of you gave me support , but friday night came and so did the beer and poker game so i cracked like a bad egg and fired up the smokes. i was kind of ticked off at myself so i decided that my start date would be wednesday 3/12 to coincide with the fitness plan i've been on since the first of the year.i've lost 25 lbs since 1/1/2008 and my fitness week starts on wednesdays so yesterday was the day. i put on my patch and cruised through day 1. yes it was a little tough but i made it and i'm very glad , now it's day 2 and i'm gonna make it today also. my 45 minutes on the treadmill last night was easier with my lungs less stressed and i feel great this morning. thanks for your support , i'm gonna make it this time , i thank god for that and ask for his help.
