Not a lot to choose from with X 🙄

Hi guys, Hope all is well with you guys who got over this nasty habit. I have quit for months many a times but that one started a circle. I relied on the previous forum that helped me quit which I did for 9 months and then i picked up one cig. Done, I was running to the store again and I started the cycle once again. Here i am again. I remember Jillar, Johnny and a few other folks from the previous forum which is no longer there, but they were my pillars. Thank you! I wish and want to put and end to this nonsense once and for all. Also making a double whammy is I’m going to quit Alcohol as well at the same time, hand in hand. Had my last drink and smoke today at 10:30 PM US EST. When I wake up tomorrow, instead of running for a cigarette I’m going to bug you guys. So please don’t be annoyed with me, not an hour, but I’ll check in as soon as I get a craving. Great job to everyone here who quit! Amazing!

Thank You everyone. This journey was not easy in the begining but with the encouragement I received here on the train made it all possible. Doreen, Jillar and Reci just to name a few really helped me a lot. The support community here on the train is nothing but extraordinary. I am proud to be a member of this community. I love to pay it forward every chance I get because everyone deserves to be smoke free. So, again thank you all.

Yea @tocevoD it sounds like you're still getting a lot of nicotine between the patches and lozenges. I would worry you're getting too much nicotine using both and would encourage you to maybe try using just the lozenges since those sound like your preference. At any rate, the idea with patches and lozenges is to reduce your nicotine use over time and at four weeks I would think they would have started doing that. Just my opinion.....

Woo hoo, this calls for a celebration dance! So happy for you, Mac.

Oh WOW! 5 Years quit ... now there's a milestone worth celebrating! Congrats @Mac#23!!

Welcome ray congratulations on quitting again. I was on qsmb when I started quitting you will find lots of people here that joined this site when it closed down. Have a look around the site there's even some postings that were saved from the old message board. Good luck.

Congrats Mac, 5 years is awesome… Paaaaaaarty!

Welcome back @Ray1198, you know the drill so let's do it this time

Welcome bavk @Ray1198! Good on you for making a decision to quit for good. We’re ready to support you along the way. As you know, withdrawal can be tough, but it gets better… and is so worth it. Just let those craves pass on by. Cravings are not commands, just noisy commercials for junk you don’t wanna buy. So change the channel… distract yourself with something else. If you stay strong and stay busy, you can beat this addiction! Keep us posted on how you do.

Well done. Attaway to keep busy and distracted!

Well done on your two months @Kdad! It's so wonderful to see your strong sense of determination. No turning back now!

Just been reading the first few pages of this thread I started. I forgot I even packed in for a month last August/September. Absolutely nuts. That was a cold turkey approach though. I'm fully equipped this time round with plenty of NRT. As I say I'm on prescriptions at the moment from the smokefree intitiave in my city on the NHS. I've paid for 3 months pre paid NHS prescriptions. I'm not going to let them start lowering doses until I'm happy and ready myself. At the moment I feel the patches and lozenges are a massive help.

Congratulations on over a week smoke free @tocevoD keep up the great work

Well it's been a long time but I'm back here as I'm at that point again. Last Friday I was driving and seen a bus in my city with a smokefree helpline number. I texted it and was given a consultation date of Monday which was yesterday. Had my consultation which was basically a chat on what I'm doing now smoking wise and that I wanted to quit. The lady on the other end said I seemed very determined, I always am. Anyway the call finished with me getting a prescription for patches and lozenges. I told her I didn't want the vape. I made a conscious decision the patch was going on as soon as I got out of bed this morning and that was going to be the start of the quit. Patch has been on since 6am we are now at 10:10 and thats where I'm at. Had 2 lozenges so far and feeling good. I was starting to smoke heavier than what I have before so something had to be done and here we are. Early days I know, been here before, I needed help and the speed at which the prescription was dispatched to the pharmacy was a massive help. Next consultation next Monday when I'll get more patches and more lozenges. Looking forward to the challenge now I have the help I need.
