Tell me about it. I almost cracked last night. Big time. I didn't smoke with the help some of the folks here on this site. I got some harsh words which I really needed to hear. We can do this! Being surrounded by smokers has to be tough, but you are here for a reason, you are serious, and you want to quit. Try and be strong, and resist the smokes one craving at a time. There is nothing easy about this, in fact, this will probably be one of the hardest things we ever do, but it HAS to be done. Be strong. You can do it!!

Hi Heather! Using the patch has not been too bad at all. I still miss the motion of smoking though. I feel an itchy sensation when I first put it on but it does go away. I'm having all kinds of dreams; not such a bad thing LOL. So far so good. Hubby is not doing as well with it and has had some puffs with the patch but he was smoking 3-4 packs a day so considering that he is doing awesome. Let me know how it goes for you ok? I do dream I'm smoking sometimes but as long as it is only in my dreams :::wink:::

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, been on vacation! I'm doing really well with quitting. On day 25 :) I'm glad you decided to give this another try, as hard as it is, it's so worth it. Nothing worth doing was ever easy. this is indeed a true test of self! Get in there and kick some a-...butt :)

Heather thank you so much for your comment. Also, I am so happy that you came back. After my last relapse, it took me 30 years to quit again! I am here for you and I'll do everything I can to help you with your quit. You are so welcome here! ((((hugs!!)))))))))

Hi Heather! My quit date is November 18th. I am so scared. Hope we can help each other. I know we can do it. We just have to get through the cravings...they can't last forever!

Heather, I'm set for the same quit date as you also. I find I get a lot of my support from the quit for life program, you can call them 7 days a week, and they're all nice as can be :) If you're surrounded by smokers, it might be a good thing for you as well. Just a thought. I'm a wreck, but it helps to talk to someone, and they are all ex smokers so they understand :) Are you going to be using any aids to help you quit? I'll be starting Chantix soon, hopfully this will be my LAST quit :)

I also set the same date... figured there might be extra support and just praying my plan will work.

Hello Heather! Welcome to this site. We're all here for the same reason you are. You no longer have to try to quit alone. You'll find lots of different ways of how people quit and no longer have to depend on smoking to get through their day. I'm 53 and I smoked for 35 years. I quit over four years ago and this is my fourth time quitting. There are so many benefits to being a non-smoker. It can be done no matter your age or how long or how much you smoked. It's definitely worth the effort and I'm glad that you're here!
