Also a few observations...
They say stuff tastes better after quitting...BS All I know is that we put salt in every god damn thing now and way too much of it! hell Gatorade taste salty!!!
Also
The depth of breath I can take is insane! I do feel about 5 years younger!
and saving about 4$ a day is cool! it adds up to about $1100 a year and that is smoking about 12-15 cigs a day! so if you do the pre tax amount I paid 1500$ of my salary towards cigs. Ugh that is awful!

I remember after quitting the first time I was kinda disappointed in the difference of everything. I was glad I quit but nothing else changed. Taste, breathing etc. Prob. cause I was a lot younger.

I guess he's right, but how exactly does that conversation work? "Hey guys, I'm smoking again."? So I'm to be an attention whore?

Maybe. But I just didn't want to do that. A lot of guys tried to help me. PMs and on the boards. I was just too ashamed to say anything.

Some still have it in their sigs and such. Supermans, Sorry dude. I'll get this thing kicked by the fest. Sooner if possible.

I really do feel horrible for letting you guys down, but if you can find it within yourselves to forgive me then I can kick this thing. How many really kick it on their first try? Not making any excuses, because I have none, (well actually I have plenty but they are what they are. Stupid and invalid.) I don't feel stupid at all for letting a bunch of people on a web forum make me feel this way because this place is awesome and you guys are all great. Having met a lot of you, and spoken on the phone with even more, I really take it seriously.

Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated on my progress. I believe my decision must come within myself and I was caught off-gaurd last time. I'll make it happen. I'm ready to. You guys don't judge me too harshly and it will be easier to be open about it. I'm going to try the Chantix. A few of you swore by it, (you know who you are) and we'll see how I do. I DO have the desire, so hopefully I can report back soon with some success.

Again, Chris, I'm truly sorry. You must think I'm a slug. I'm not a dishonest person. I have my faults, but dishonesty is NOT one of them. I'll make you guys proud.

Glad to hear it man. Imma get this thing kicked. I go see the doctor on Monday. Until then I have been cutting seriously back. About half. I'll fill the scrip Monday and it's on like Cheech and Chong.

PQ you truely haven't let anyone down... you just haven't gotten to the finish line YET.

My son quit using Chantix... I will say it was a bit crazy and he had to stop taking it, but after he did he was able to contunue on and make it to the finish line... That was a year ago...

We will keep this thread going as long as it takes...

Not there yet but I'm way below half. Probably about 25% of what I used to. I give it another month and it'll be zero.

I just couldn't do this cold turkey.

You should have witnesses to you smoking slap you with cold turkey meat. That's how you quit cold turkey.
