Congratulations on the 8 month mark Opah! Two third of the way to the big 1 year mark. Great job!

I use to chew the gum when i was a smoker and had to go on long flights. It helped but I did not use it to try to quit. I think Doreen is right on with her advice. Whatever gets you through the night for now but you don`t want to OD on these. Be careful. It is a drug and to much could be harmful. Perhaps someone who used this to quit will offer advice. Your TOUGH also Kris. Hang in there. Best wishes.

Kris, try to find healthy eating alternatives you enjoy. Don`t add stress to an already stressful situation by worrying about weight. There will be time for that later. This is the time to focus on no smokes. Get it off your mind. Not easy I know but try not to let it consume you. It will get easier. We have all been through this and believe me when I say we`re no stronger or better than you. You want it and it can be done. hang in there. Going for my morning walk before the desert heat amps up. Have to self catheter and head out. Stay strong and hang in there. Check back on you. best wishes.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whine away Kris. That`s part of what the site is about. I gained some weight but is was easy to shed once I felt good about my quit. Get the quit going first. whatever gets you through the night except smoking. You seem to be doing the right stuff. Stay busy both mental and physical if possible. Really hoping you get this done. good folks here to help. best wishes.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are pretty tough Kris so I am betting you make this quit stick. Myself, I quit after years of smoking that included a couple short quits and the cutting back that never worked. I fell in the hallway with what I thought was the flu. Turned out to be a viral pneumonia and if a friend had not found me i may have died. Could not stand or crawl to my phone, just passed out with couple rib fractures and concussion. After 2 and a half days in ICU I got to you to a room where the next day they asked if I wanted a patch since i was a smoker. I had been telling myself for years that if only I could get away without smoking for a few days I could quit. time to put up or shut up. Said no to the patch and no to smoking since sept 2016 and I can say it is well worth it whatever time we have left and doing it for your son speaks volumes of character. I wish you well and stick close here. Lots of good folks and and information and support. God bless and hang in there.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

every time you push away the crave you will be stronger for it. Glad to see you fought back the crave. Well done. best wishes.

The once in awhile puff won`t work Anita. I did that myself years ago and eventually I caved in. It`s only a matter of time and stress before you are back to square one. Eleven days is a great start. Myself, it took a 8 day hospital stay to even get close to that. You have the right stuff if you`ve made 11 days. Amp up your determination and get aboard. Stay close to the site. Lots of help here. Good people and we have all been through this. Best wishes and hope to see you around.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big congratulations on the one month. If vanity is part of the reason who cares? The day you stopped you already looked better. keep up the good work and the road will get easier but it seems to me you got the guts for this. Best wishes. Stay close if stress does come on. Help is here.
