You need to get one of those electronic cigs. I quit about 3 weeka ago and these things really help. They still give you a small nicotine fix but you only inhale water vapor. Amazingly helpful! Good luck

Good luck dude!

Good work, When I used the patch I just switched shoulders each day moving slightly up and down and I actually took mine off before bed and then a new one on in the morning, its going to get easier and easier for you, soon you wont even think about smoking, patch just becomes a extra support for the couple months to get through with.

someone shoot me please...

well day 2 = success, got a little rough towards the end of the night as you may see by my previous post but I managed to pull through. Now onto day 3.

^ Keep at it even when it gets a little rough...just think about what it will be like to have a life free of smoking and all the things you will be able to do that you were previously held back from when you were smoking.

I know it's rough right now, but you will get through it and it will become easier and easier.

Good Luck!

Ok... Day three... Time to get on the treadmill....

keep it up you can do it. Once a few weeks is past, it gets easier

well I made it through the weekend cigarette free. Saturday night I had a date and she was alright, kinda boring but she has a lot going for her as far as her career goes. Unfortunately the date made me miss my ex more than take my mind off her so I was really close to buying a pack of smokes. I sat in the parking lot at royal farms for about 15 minutes reading all my reasons not to smoke and managed to leave with just a pack of gum. That by far has been my most difficult situation to overcome as of yet. I'm pretty confident if I wasn't using the patch that would have been the break down moment. I really really want a cigarette but I don't feel like I want one bc I need nicotine, just maybe a stress reliever. I also know that just like using any other drug, you are only hiding from your problems as opposed to facing them head on. Can't wait to see what day 4 has in store for me.

Keep it going man!

Again, stay strong. Remember, get through the first two weeks or so, and you're through the worst of it.

the first three days are brutal... then its a little better, but by the end of the first month it gets bad again...

Doing good man... keep on going...

I do recommend the jogging ASAP... something about running while trying to quit re-enforces the goal of quitting

Yeah I want to start jogging, just keeps raining or being miserable outside somehow on the days I've designated as jogging days for my routine. Haven't felt the need for a cigarette yet today, but I sure as hell still want one. Time to take a walk around the building to take my mind off things. This stupid program I'm writing is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

Hey, if you want something to do and have a few hours to kill, drive this.

You don't smoke in the car, and this'll get you a few hours of real smoke-free fun. Just beware that the road is rough around the dam. Very fun, but very rough.

Weather is awesome today :tup:
