Hey everyone!

I've been smoking off and on since age 14. I've smoked steadily for the last 7 years, I've tried to quit once. I'm starting Monday, January 8th, with the help of the patch. I'm also going to read Allen Carrs book this weekend. It can't hurt, thats for sure!! If anybody wants to join me, that would be great Hope to hear from some of you out there soon!!

I'm 14 months into my quit but wanted to add that another website that you may find helpful (especially for support and tons of information) is www.whyquit.com
I wish you much success with your quit!

Thank you so much for that link!! And congrats on your success

Sublime---I just ordered the patches but won't be here for two weeks. My set quit date is the 18th. I'm really, really nervous about it. But I'm goona give it a try. I hope it doesn't effect me with my diet. Like make me have food cravings etc. What do you think? I'm sure you are l/cing too ? Maybe we can support each other...

I quit 2 days ago, so I'm right ahead of you all. I will be here for you if you need me.

I won't lie, this is hard right now. (I am a 20 year smoker!) I am working VERY diligently to keep my hands and mind busy, busy, busy! Everyone says that after 72 hours the physical stuff is over, just the mental dependency remains. I know I can do this -- we all can.

Hugs,
Courtney

Hey guys!!

I think its fine we're starting at different times, either way its still pretty new to all of us Yes, I'm worried about it screwing up my diet, but then again, I'm not doing well on it right now anyway I'll get back here tonight, gotta go

Hey all I quit 2 days ago as well ....and I need all the support I can get...OMG, I am getting a little nervous now. I have a hypnosis cd I have been listening to everynight...I will let you all know how that goes.

hey bestyear....Have you been having headaches or anything yet|? How's
the l/carbing going?any cravings for carbs? Please let us know about that cd...where did you get it?

Cindy

I quit cold turkey 16 days ago!!! Smoked for 20 years!! This has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life But, WHYQUIT.COM will get you through it!!! It's the ONLY information place that made me truely believe that I could quit!! I NEVER EVEN QUIT FOR ONE WHOLE DAY IN MY LIFE BEFORE THIS!! Education is the KEY to making change in our lives!!! Just like when we educated ourselves about weight and how to lose it!!

IT GETS BETTER EVERYDAY I haven't cried for 3 days!!!!

WE ARE STRONGER THEN THE DRUG ADDICTS WE HAVE/HAD BECOME!!!

Cinny...I have terrible headaches, as a matter of fact a had a killer migraine last night and Im not sure if it is from Lc or what...I ordered the cd from "The monroe institute" i am not sure exactly what the site is but you can google it under the monroe institute or better yet the cd's are called "HIMI-SYNC" goog luck

Good luck to all of you!! I quit many years ago and I know you can too.

Bestyear---sounds like your getting thru the first withdrawal part....just keep going! Are you using the patch or anything? let me know.....

Lizzy---Thanks for the encouragement...I'm gonna check out that website.

I'm still waiting for my patches....

Hallo,

I don't know how I happened across this thread, but I did.

Anyway, a friend of mine who quit smoking last year said that these things helped her tremendously by giving her mouth and hands something to do:
PAIPO
They're little...inhalers, from Japan.
Just thought I'd toss that out there.

And good luck to you! (^_^)

Hey ya'll!!! Sounds like you're all doing well!! I start tomorrow, and I decided to start without the patch to see if I could just get the withdrawl symptoms over with. If you see me in the paper for assault you'll know it didn't go so well I'll check back in tomorrow, see how you all are and let you know how I'm doing. Glad I have some partners in crime

Just wanted to check and see how oyu guys are doing....I started on my patches today. I put it on at 6:00 am and it's about 1:30 now and haven't even really wanted to smoke. It's really incredible. I know it's the patches. I don't think I could do it w/out them. No headaches, not nervous, not hungry, none of that stuff so far. Let me know how you guys are doing and I'll keep you posted.
