Thank you!

After being in touch and supporting each other as quitters since the summer of 2013, I had the pleasure of stopping by and meeting Paul and his lovely wife, Janet! They were so kind and welcoming to Dennis, me, and my Mom. Hoping they will share the recipe for the wonderful ginger cookies!

99,599 in memory of my brother Jim and our Invisible Man...

So very proud of you, dear friend! I am so sorry to be late to the party. You are such a wonderful gift to so many...there are not words to describe your kindness, patience, and wonderful giving spirit. You have gone through so much in the last nine years, and yet you always have time to support others. I am blessed to count you as a friend...love you!!

NOPE!

I found it helpful to keep juice or hard candy available...quitting plays havoc with blood sugar!

NOPE!

Love the "Any is too Many!!" Do not feel alone....when my brother was in the hospital dying from smoking...I had to feed my addiction and sneak out and smoke. I was terrified that I could not quit. I used Chantix. Use whatever path allows you to get started....

Woo Hoo!!! Yay for you!!

Welcome, Funky Monkey!! I'm pretty sure the gum will come with detailed instructions, but I agree it might be helpful to check with your doctor or pharmacist. The most important ingredient is determination. You have to decide that there is absolutely no circumstance in which it is okay to stick something in your mouth and set it on fire. You can rant, rave, cry, scream, run until you can't run anymore, take 10 showers a day (you can't smoke in the shower) or whatever else it takes to not smoke. You can do this!!
