My husband quit with barely a struggle at all. Much different for me though. I have struggled alot. I quit drinking and doing drugs (5 yrs of sobriety) but smoking has been nearly impossible for me to give up!
I quit cold turkey on oct. 8th........but have been sneaking them here and there for the last couple of weeks :-( I have not smoked since yesterday and am gonna try and consider myself back "on the wagon" with it. One day at a time!!!!

I have patches, electronic cigarette, lozenges, but I'm missing the willpower! the first time I quit was on a bet with two coworkers. they were both smoking the very next day and I kept on without them. perhaps you and I can set a date and time and see who can last the longest?  |
To you Suki - I have a drawer-ful of patches, the inhaler, gum, etc.
Blah - since I wrote that I am right back up there
oncamethelight - First, five years clean & sober - wow that is great.
We used to have Nicotine Anonymous here. But the quit members did not follow Program and got so egotistical & feeling/acting superior that I quit going. It was a very small group, maybe five.
That was a long time ago.
Right now I'm not in a place to quit
