This will be fascinating!
I believe I have smoked for approximately 20 years. I was able to stop for a good bit of time using Chantix about three years ago but my boyfriend continued to smoke and I really had no idea how weak I was around other smokers. I picked up the comfort of habit once again. I tried cold turkey about a week ago...I was unprepared for the emotional backlash within myself. Today I am using nicotine patches for cessation purposes even though I really just want the nicotine out of my system for good. I also realize it is such an ingrained habit that the absence of nicotine may not be as magical as I perceive it may be. I suspect it will not be some glorious "I'm cured and will never want to smoke again!". This is my first time using any type of support group.
Thank you for all the future help I will need.
Cheers!
