Congratulations @Wayne045 10 years is really amazing! What a wonderful accomplishment!! You are a true inspiration to all of us!! Treat yourself!!! All the Best!!

NOPE!!

How you doing Stew? Keep close to the Train!!

I understand how it is to live with a smoker. My mother and my family own a two family house and she lives downstairs. I go down there a lot and see her smoking and smell it. Now it doens't bother me but in the beginning it was very difficult. You really have to make up your mind and tell yourself that you aren't going to smoke. The cut up straws are a very good idea. I used cinnamon sticks in the beginning couple of months. You have to do everything that you can to distract yourself from smoking. Play the games, drink lots of water, go for a walk, call up a friend, read, anything to take your mind off of smoking. The withdrawal will go away and you can do this! We are all addicts and quit the habit, it's not easy but it is doable!! I was so addicted and I was climbing the walls in the beginning, but the longer you stay quit, the faster the withdrawal will go away. You have to pysch yourself up to do it. We can advice you and support you, but the quitting has to come from you. Stay close to this forum, I truly believe that is what helps. YOU CAN DO THIS!! Yes, like Denali says the weaning will not work. I did that for a couple weeks and it was terrible. I was down to two cigs a day, one in the morning and one at night and I was climbing the walls in between. You have to give it up cold turkey or use the patch or gum, but you cannot smoke at all.

Hi Stew!!! Welcome Back!! Sorry to hear that you relapsed but you know this is the right place to be to quit. Yup, your ticket will always be good on this train!! You know the drill, but my advice is to stay close to the train and do the Daily Nope pledge. I truly believe that is what has helped me stay quit for 3 years. Yup, you want to be a part of your granddaughter's life, so quitting smoking is a VERY good idea!!
