Is anyone else just trying to quit?
I've cut down from 2 packs to a couple puffs of a cigar, but just can't control the craving with just the Nicotine lozengers (no teeth so no gum and tried patch it didn't work. Pills no good cause of other meds.)

I just finished the 2nd week of this attempt. Any support welcome!

I'm with you. I'm trying very hard to quit. I can make it about 2-3 days then backslide. I have given up drinking and drugs but smoking is by far the hardest I've ever tried. Is anyone else in your life trying to quit right now? Maybe the buddy system would work. I truly wish you the best of luck. Stay strong and have faith you can do it.

I haven't had a cigarette in 4 days but I backslide by puffing on a cigar (have smoked 2 in the 4 days) I guess I have an advantage, no cigarettes left and no car right now. I have to walk 10 miles to get cigarettes LOL.

Well Secret how's it coming? If I had to walk 10 miles for a cigarette then my fat butt could quit! I'd never make it that far LOL! I backslid a little. Since Friday the 9th I've smoked one cigarette. I made it to the 12th and then had to have one. So the new goal is to make it 4 days without backsliding come on 16th. Wishing you good luck
