I was able to quit on June 27, 1999. It was the second time I had quit. I used Wellbutrin and the patch. But also, I fractured my leg big time and was in the hospital for three days. Too much effort to go outside to smoke, so that was the way I was able to quit the second time.

Both times I quit, it was cold turkey. The first time was before there were any aids. Hardest thing I ever did, but well worth it. Keep your hands busy, use the straws for the oral and hand fixation. Someone mentioned the drinking water and healthy food which is a good idea.

I had a relative quit, in his fifties, for the first time in his life, with Chantix. But he had to stop because he had had a kidney transplant it had effected the kidney somehow.

You can do it. And even if you only have a day or two under your belt, just consider that each time you go back to it, it makes it that much tougher to quit. One day at a time! Sometimes one moment at a time. Keep yourself busy, vary your routine.

Good luck!
