I'm Andy, a 39 year old who's smoked for 19 years. March 3rd will be my 3rd attempt to stop, my most successfull so far was in 1991 when I managed 4 months with out a smoke then one night a series of amazing events put me back in the nasty habbit. I live with elderly parents now one of whom is a chain smoker so the smell is constantly in the house. I'll be using zyban and have just completed the first week of dosage. I've found if I can avoid the first morning smoke I generally do well for the rest of the day. I'm disabled with scoliosis and kyphosis, formerly I was a federal officer working in florida, chicago, indianapolis, and the awesome valley area of ventura county california...I miss newbury park, simi valey, and thousand oaks, I've not been there since 1993. I spend a lot of time at home in front of the computer or watching movies, in warm weather I'm busy in my vegitable garden or in my hamock reading a war novel. I hope to beat the nasty habit this time and never again return to it, it costs too much in money and in health, I already have some issues with copd.

Welcome Andy. I tried to quit a few times myself. This has been my most successful time. I am currently using the patch and have found it to work well for me. My understanding that several attempts to quit may be needed before you're successful and that your chances of quitting successfully increase with each quit attempt. Good luck and keep us posted.
