I quit on March 16th of this year and used the Nicoderm Cq patch for 10 weeks as directed on box. That was the easiest of all the times I've unsuccessfully tried to quit. (5 or 6 times) I was really suprised how much easier and maybe I just actually wanted to quit this time. Had smoked for14 years. Wanted to quit for my long term health while I was still pretty young and to save the money I was literally burning up. So it has now been 15 weeks and still going strong!!!!

Fuuuuuuu. It's been 4 days. Not doing well today. Was easier the first time I quit.

As I always tell people, don't quit quitting!!!! I stopped for good when I was 25. I had started smoking @ 9 yrs. old and by the time I was in my teens I was smoking 1 - 2 packs a day!! (No my parents did not let me!!) I "started" quitting when my first daughter was born but it took until my second daughter was born until I finally stopped for good! I can say that it has been over 25 years now and I don't miss them one bit! It took 4 times to stop for good, so don't stop trying!!!

Hang in there - the first week is the toughest. After that the nicotine craving subsides and you just have to break the habitual smokes (after meals, at coffee breaks, getting in your car, etc.). YOU CAN DO IT! I'm not saying it's easy - I'm approaching 8 weeks myself - still tempting just out of habit.

I quit smoking. It's been about a year and a half now. All I did was stop. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it was really easy for me to quit. I was surprised. I smoked for 7 years but maybe I wasn't really addicted anyways, I don't know. I just stopped doing the things I used to do when I would smoke... like at work on break, I'd go on break in a different section than I did before. I started to do different things. Worked for me.

Good for you Vaux96 and all the folks pursuing a smoke-free lifestyle! Keep up the good work!

Stop building it up in your head and just quit. If you really want to stop badly enough you will. Don't make excuses and ween yourself off, just go cold turkey, stop buying packs of cigarettes. Realize just how incredibly bad they are for you and that they don't do a thing other than give you a false sense of comfort. If you want to stop smoking, STOP SMOKING.

TGG1SS · 06-27-2012, 06:33 PM

My Wife and I quit one month ago, we are still non-smokers!!! feel better, look healthier and enjoying being a former smoker.

That is so good to hear! All the best.

FWIW I'm still quit since Jan 1. Everyone trying, it does get easier but it takes time and nobody wants to hear that.
