Why is everyone only recommending cold turkey method here ?
Oh Jo, it does not matter how you quit. I did not need NRT but I needed, you Jo! You helped drag my ass over that line. I am forever grateful for the love and support I received. Thanks for being there Jo!

Random thoughts...
Me too Doreen. I thought those days were becoming a thing of the past. Since my husband has retired and I quit smoking, I am noticing a little flutter of the heart when my husband comes down from his shower in the morning. For some reason, the smell of his deodorant hits my nose and it reminds me of those younger days when we would cuddle and he smelled so good.

Crossed over one month--finally!

Sunshine, you started quitting at the same time as me. It has been a year and 7 months and you still have nicotine in your body. You have not quit the addiction. The object of using NRT is to use it for a short term to help you transition over to not smoking. It is not to be used as a replacement to smoking. You may feel this is healthier but it is not. You may feel you won't end up with lung cancer but you are still at risk for throat or oral cancers. Addicts come up with all types of excuses as to why they feed their habit. It is time for you to put the excuses away and quit the habit completely.- Wednesday 25th March 2020

- Corona Virus... the great global pandemic
My husband is driving me nuts too. He keeps wanting to go to the corner store or home depot. We supposedly bought everything we needed for our bathroom project so we did not have to go out. I won't let him go!- Corona Virus... the great global pandemic

- Excited to QUIT for good
Welcome mokajava! I also feel you should just quit today. It only takes a couple of days to get the nicotine out of your system , so you might just think about going cold turkey. For someone who is stuck at home, this forum is a great place for socializing. Not only do we support you, but we also have fun in the process. There is plenty of information on quitting and lots of games. If you have done this before, you can do it again. Stay close to the forum and shout out as you need us. We are here for you!- Corona Virus... the great global pandemic
@Sazeracthey just posted on the news that the virus can live on cardboard 24 hours, metal, glass and plastic 3 days. Seems like you should not even get the mail or go to the store for food. Maybe those toilet paper hoarders were not so dumb!- Friday 20th March 2020

- I think I'm ready to try again.
Listen to this wise lady. I joined the forum with the same attitude as you. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I had the strength to quit. She knew how to get the message through and let me know I was a pretty awesome person and could do anything; including quit smoking!- What are you doing right now
Yes it is surreal. It was bad enough my husband retired the first of this year and he is around a lot. Now we are cooped in the house. We decided to get some of the big projects done but had to go to the home depot for supplies. We looked kind of silly with our plastic gloves and big container of clorox wipes. We are ripping out the cabinet, laying new flooring and painting. We bought enough to do both bathrooms and paint our bedroom.- I think I'm ready to try again.
That is the addiction talking at you. As long as you keep giving into those craves, you will never have control over your life. You have the power to quit. I promise the feelings of discomfort are far less than you think. We are here to help guide you through this journey.- Tuesday 17th March 2020
