Twohazy, I'm so proud of your determination! Do whatever you need to do to succeed! I was in Tampa last week, and I remember the tv ads about the stop smoking programs in Florida. Have you seen the pregnant mom "smoking" then the baby "smoking"? Or the business guy "smoking" outside, then coming into the break room with a pot of coffee and everybody leaves? Those two ads really caught my attention! I'm glad there are so many resources at your disposal to help!

I just got off the phone with a program that the State of Florida set up. It's another program designed to help me quit smoking. I'm going to be doing phone sessions with them and they are sending me all kinds of reading material (I've been reading anything and everything I can get my hands on). They said I may also be eligibile for free NRT; so I'll find out all about that too.

I am really serious about quitting and am trying whatever I can to accomplish it.

One day at a time.

I honestly don't think I'm doing too bad. I have only had 2 cigarettes in the past four days. I am normally a 1/2 a pack a day person; so for me to only have two in the amount of time I normally would have had 20 or more is definately saying something.

I will look into trying the patch. I can't chew gum.

Thanks.

HI TH, listen, if you feel this is going to help you make the quit finally then you have to do it your way. I cut down for eight whole weeks before I made the final move. For me, the cut down period was harder than the quit, as I was a heavy chronic smoker and of course when I had the high dose patches they were delivering the amount of nicotine I needed whereas the cut down was depriving me of that amount- so what I am trying to say is I was better off physically quitting than cutting down if that makes sense.

You must do whats right for you, but please consider if Cold Turkey is the way for you, theres no shame in having additional help like patches or gum or whatever is available. I just couldnt do CT myself it would of been too hard.

Anyway, keep up your good work you are on the right road.

I tried the Wellbutrin and inhalers with my last quit but the Wellbutrin only made me jumpy and unable to sleep. When I did sleep, I had the weirdest, scariest dreams, I decided to stop taking it. The nicotine inhalers were so nasty that I tossed them out with the Wellbutrin.

I think forgiving myself one smoke a day is going to be easier than trying to go cold turkey. I haven't felt the urge to smoke one yet today and I've been awake for almost 12 hours; so I think that's saying something!

Yes, everyone's quit is different and we all have to find what way works best for each of us. We are all different individuals and one person's quit won't be the same as anyone elses. I keep that in mind and refuse to beat myself up for that one a day. As I said, I am sure there will be a day (maybe it's today!) that I don't need that one (should probaby replace "need" with "want" here) and when that time comes, it will be a good day.

Don't ever give up trying...that's one sure way to fail.
