How?s she goin? b?ys?

Thanks so much, Eya. :) And congratulations to you too!

We can't go back now. I wouldn't even want that, even if there were no health risks and smoking was cheap. Just the smell is disgusting...

At my work, one other smoker has already quit. She started just after my major attempt in March. And another smoker started wearing the patch yesterday. And a third smoker is preparing herself for a serious quit attempt in September.

Now I just have to get my partner to try again, hahaha. ;) Trying to lead by quiet, subtle, passive example. I don't even bring it up--and I notice my partner is really talking more and more and more about quitting. :D So, progress.

Hey there R2Q!

I haven't been here for a while; I was getting addicted to SSC and had to Quit my Quitting Addiction (posting here) so I could concentrate on getting something else done in my life (work)! I haven't Quit Quitting my Original Quit yet though (ummm - smoking that is). I just jogged past my 6 Month Marathon -YAY!- and realized it was past time to pop in for a visit here at SSC.

I remember missing your thoughtful posts and positive attitude back in March when you were doing great with your mint toothpick Quit - and then suddenly dropped off the site. ahhhh! It sure looked like we lost you to ol' Nic. !Grr! But I see now that's far from the case! I'm so glad your return to smoking was nothing more than a l'il hiccup! It's great to see you back and doing so well with NOPE this time! WOOHOO! to those stats you're chalking up R2Q! Cheers

you're doing great R2Q ! Try not to focus on withdrawl symptoms. I found that if you focus on what "they " say will happen - it will ! Everybody is different it may or may not happen to you. Anyway in the end, you have it right Ready! You will not smoke again ! WOOHOO !!!!

Ooh... the withdrawals are stronger than I wanted. It's fine, they're not cravings at all... just withdrawals. But I was hoping it'd be easy.

I'm a little sweaty and anxious, that's about it.

Thanks, Willis.

So far, so good. I find myself wanting to log in here more often today than yesterday, when I was wearing a patch... so it's definitely on my mind. But I could never go back to smoking. :( The idea disgusts me. I've truly had enough. I just want it to be easy is all, hahaha.

Awesome Ready!

Keep up the good work and be ready for anything! Get out some coping mechanisms just in case!

Exercising is good for your mind and body!

Tomorrow is my last day on the patch. So close to being free...

I'm excited but nervous about Thursday, which will be my first with no patch at all.

I planned to continue with the gum but I accidentally bought the lozenges instead. I was going to bring them back but I decided to give them a try tonight. I'm still having my first one and I love it.

I like the idea of switching to something else for the very final phase too... because I know a few people who have been chewing the gum for years and years and years. I don't want to do that so it's nice to get rid of it now and get through my last few days/weeks with something new.

Oy... this is it! :D Hahaha... I'm so happy I did it!
