Hello April,
Good hearing from you. Just wanted to pass along some good positive energy your way. I am also using NRT's as I think they are a must for serious quitters. If the patch is working well for you, that's great. I have been chompin' on the gum, seem to work for me. Hang in there and know you have support.....We Can Do This!

Hi Marty,
Thanks for the welcome note! :) I'm glad I found this site (even though it was a couple of days past my worst day - Saturday). I'm guessing we quit the same day (July 31). I am not exactly nicotine-free yet. Smoke-free ... definitely. I've been using the third stage of the patches (might as well be using nothing).
I work in DC and I think the hardest part is everytime that I walk outside, somebody is smoking. I'm determined to stay smoke/nicotine-free this time. Good luck to you and hang in there.

Hello April,
Welcome to EX. I am rather new myself. This site has been an awesome tool in helping me with my quit. I'm on Day 5!
You'll find tons of support here, use it....I certainly do. My first couple days were surprisingly easy as I am so determined, however, the last couple of days have been a little tense, but again, determination prevails, I have not smoked and do not intend to. Good luck with your quit, and again...Welcome to EX and congratulation's on your decision to becoming an EX!!

Well, this is my third time quitting. I quit when I was pregnant 13+ years ago and started again shortly after my son was born. The last time I quit was January 2006 and quit for nine months. I started back up and hated it, but, fell right back into the grips of weakness. I hate the way smokers smell and was always afriad that I was offensive. I hate the way it stains my teeth and my dentist always has to work harder when I'm smoking. My son thinks I've been quit since the first time and I've been "closet" smoking for a while now. It's just gotten ridiculous how I try to hide and cover it up. I have a friend who recently died (he was only 37 and never smoked a day in his life) - but, at his dad's viewing (just two months prior), he told me to quit so I didn't end up like his dad. AND ... even though smoking is not the reason my friend died, I'm quitting because it was our last discussion together and it is to honor his wish. I know that it is the best thing for me and the benefits are unlimited ... but, it is SO hard! I just feel all powerful when I can overcome such a hurdle during such a tough time. PRAYING HELPS and keeping his picture posted nearby keeps me motivated. Good luck to everyone and think of the money we are saving! :) -A
