God Bless. I am not a smoker but I do belong to OA, no addiction is fun and it takes a sturdy heart to quit so a great big hug goes out to you. 

awwwwwwwwww thank you helps to have support . I plan on never starting back this time. I have quit a lot in my life but having COPD mild is my health reason to stay quit now. 

Congratulations on your first step towards a better and healthier you! Addictions are hard to break and I for one am dam proud you have taken this path! This only the first step of many. And it is very wise that you are working one thing at a time.  

thank you jennifer, Yes One thing at a time is all I can think about. So are the Days of my life. I will win. 

Don't expect too much from the patch or gum...YOU are the Key not another vice...or crutch..YOU can DO THIS! 

well the patches are seeming to keep me calmer I will get off them as soon as I can. thank you gene 

Congrats on day 4, the first week is the toughest. It will get easier and you will start to feel better. I smoked for nearly 15 years partially quit for about 5 years (would go months and then relapse for a month or two), but since then I have been quit for a solid 5 years. KEEP IT UO...YOU GOT THIS! 

Good for you on quitting the cigarettes! Addictive habits may be hard to break but it can be done and you're doing it. Health issues are what finally gave me the gumption to lose weight, exercise, and be healthier. Keep it up - you're in the process of replacing an unhealthy habit with healthier ones! 

I quit for 2 years, the 9 months one time. 2 months anothe and so on and so on. whats diff this time is age and will power never to start again for my health. I think my mind is there for it this time. Thank you 1984 adams 

Proud of you Jmb3450 I will be so glad when I am like you. I will say drinking was my down fall in the past. So in my mind I will be quitting that to. 

Awesome job. I found Fat secret originally after quitting smoking and adding a lot of weight. 

Once you get used to your new, healthy lifestyle it's not going to be hard anymore, just give it some time. 

Good for you. Take it one day at a time and before you know it you will be looking back in amazement at how long it's been without a cigarette. I have now been cigarette free for 30 years but it took a severe respiratory infection to get me started (and believe me I tried to smoke during it, but it was too painful). Once started I just kept plodding along one day at a time. I didn't count myself cured until the 5 year mark when I stopped reaching for that cigarette after dinner lol. I think if I had not quit I would either be dead or on oxygen by now :) 

wow you all are so great, with good pts and love hearing how you quit. One more time you are the best! I can do this! 

I know you can do it! My husband quit in May and it's all for the better!  

My Husband quit via an e-cig. He was over a pack a day smoker who had tried everything in the past and always appeared to look for excuses to smoke again. April 1 2014 he purchased an e-cig and is still not smoking. Shortly after he quit he was involved in a somewhat serious car accident and he still did not smoke. Perhaps it might be worth a try.
