Well, Nalu and everyone, today was a bit rough. Had to take a pill because I was sooo edgy. Doing better now and DID NOT smoke, bad as I wanted to. Maybe I am jumping the gun a bit trying to get off the NRT. I will try again tomorrow but I'm hoping things will calm down. Thanks for all the great support!

Wow, I do love this place. Thank you all so much for the support. I can't even tell you how much it means to me. I am doing better now. Taking the Chantix once a day and started up the after dinner mints again. Today is much better than the last 2. I guess I was pretty surprised at my reaction to having nothing to curb the urges. Guess maybe I'm just not ready to be off the NRT. These last 2 days taught me a lot of things but the most important was to NEVER do this to myself again. 56 days and counting, one day at a time. I just thought I was ready to quit everything. Oh well, the most important thing is to not smoke, right? So, if I have to take the NRT's for the rest of my life, I guess that is better than smoking. I hope someday though, the nicomonster will be eliminated. Again, thank you all for the support. I hope I can help all of you in some way as well. :) Sue [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/21/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 56 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,416 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $210 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 16 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

Tomorrow I go off the patch for good. I am taking Chantix but it doesn't have any nicotine in it. Only way to truly stop is to break the nicodemon inside of me. Sure hope it works. I am a bit nervous about this but just keep telling myself that I HAVE to do it. So, wish me luck everyone that I don't turn into some evil nasty person! :) Sue [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/21/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 44 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,122 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $165 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

Hi all, I am doing great! Feel really good today as well. This isn't as bad as I anticipated it would be. Still having occasional urges but nothing that I can't work through on my own. I just can't believe I am actually getting rid of these things forever. I never thought I'd be able to quit smoking! I am elated so much that I am going to go out and celebrate tonight! Thanks for all the great support. I may stick around here even after I feel like I won't need the support anymore! Everyone is just terrific and I feel like I will be able to help others out as well. Thank You!

Hi all, Thank you so much for the support. It hasn't been too bad without the patch. I did have about a minute of serious craving but I had the mints handy so it passed quickly. So far, so good!!

Hi all, I am doing great! Very excited about a decision I made today! Decided to stop all forms of medications and I feel good. I was on the patch for a long time then I quit that and went just to Chantix. Well, I think the Chantix was keeping me awake at night. I tried moving the afternoon dose earlier and still had trouble sleeping at night. So, today I decided not to take it anymore. So far I feel real good. Hopefully I will be able to get some real sleep tonight or tomorrow. As for coping, I come here every day and login what's happening that day. My meter is the BEST medicine for me. When I see how many days it's been and how much money I'm not spending on something so useless, it just serves to strengthen my resolve. As for distractions, I just keep myself busy. Today it was playing on the computer and cleaning house. Sometimes, just to relax a bit, I'll pick up my crocheting. I'm in the middle of making a red and white afghan. Red and white because I am an avid Detroit Red Wings fan and it will work will in my "Red Wings decorated bedroom". :) Anyway, will update you daily on how I do without any drugs!

Ladya Wish I had seen this sooner I would have replied. I was on the full strength patch(15mg) about 4weeks ago I got cocky and thought I could cut it out.WHAM! I felt awful and had to slap it back on again.Phase them out gradually I suggest. I am now down to 10mg and still not 100% Be careful do whatever you need to do just do not smoke we cannot go through this ever again. I couldnt!
