I took an over the counter product called Bantron which I credit me success to. I don't know if it's still available or not.

Even after 35+ years there are still times, especially after eating a nice dinner, I lean back and think..."A Lucky Strike sure would taste good now."

Good luck. It gets a little easier every day.

lol congrats on 3+ years of being done smoking!
Thanks for the support. Well 36 hours and counting. I'm starting smell things I didn't smell before and some of them I wish I couldn't . I'm using the patch and it seems to be working. As a motivation device I have my last pack of smokes sitting next to me. So every time I look at them, it reminds me how much they have f*cked up my health up over the years. At the same time I think I'm going to have a lollipop addiction when it's all said and done.

A bunch of my buddies use e-Cigs since it was more of going through the motions of smoking rather than needing one itself out of habit. He has tried quitting many times as well and I think the e-Cigs has been the most beneficial for him.

Used oven method lens up 250 degrees for 15 mins. Score it with a screw driver and pry away. The diy video helped a lot.

No...well one. That was my biggest reason to quit smoking. Well other than my health. Just got tired of searching like a crackhead when I ran out of smokes. No more. 3 days and counting. I still feel like I could punch a baby in the face for a cigarette but neither one would get me any closer to my goal of quitting.

I'm at 4 days myself. Urges are lessening (they say the first 3 days are the hardest), but not gone by any means. I actually miss smoking.

My regular Karaoke show in Raytown, is a smoking bar. I fear I'll be tempted to light one up while I'm in there.

Miss it....hell yes. My job can be boring as hell sometimes and I would smoke a lot. Now I just chew the f@ck out of some gum. At the same time it has to be done.
