Good luck Gina, I know you can do it!!!! Go buy commit lozenges at walmart. I have been smokefree 3 years in August. They really help.
Another thing is the urge only last a few minutes,so when it hits you stay busy. Brush your teeth every time you have a urge. That seemeed to help me. In a week you will be smelling smokers (IF NOT ALREADY) and asking yourself... how did I walked around smelling like that!

It will be hard for you, but time does pass and then you'll have a month, then two months, and then you'll have it made! Keep plugging along!

teffiemoore · 10-30-2006, 03:55 PM

A week!!!! Thats great!!!!

A cheer LOL, I was being a smart a-- to my hubby last week-end and did just that, (but with a nice cheerleader jump) thinking I was all that and a bag of chips..jumped up, hit the pot rack and now have a nice "gash" at the top of my nose, right between my eyes, they were even a light shade of black for 3 days, lol..had fun explaining that to everyone

Keep up the good work Gina!!!

GOOD for you!!!! Sometimes the gum and always having a hard candy in your mouth makes a huge difference. You've made it over the hardest part. Congrats... keep up the awesome work!

Gina...believe it or not, you've almost got it licked!!! Keep it up girl...we're behind you 200 %!!!!

Lexi Rae · 10-31-2006, 09:13 AM

Babe you're doing GREAT. Just keep taking it one day at a time. The urges will stop eventually. You're doing AWESOME!!

Lexi and I are so proud of you.

i took that patch off right away,, cant use it anymore... made me sick all
weekend...i hope i can do this,, its so hard..

Just hang in there this is something that I personally have never battled. My husband quit for me almost 20 years ago now.

My dad god rest his soul. Smoke probably for 60+ years and we lost him to emphysema in January 04 and they found cancer right before he died.

Sorry to get so morbid.

I'm proud of you just hang in there.

The withdrawl symptoms last about a month. Hang in there. I have read to drink lots of water to flush the nicotine from your tissues and the symptoms will be less noticeable.
As far as the urges that takes a long time.
