HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I'm going to be watching you pete! Of course, I always say men have an easier quit 'cuz they have less stress! You are certainly more self-disciplined than I am! Congratulations and good luck. Don't be too proud to slap a patch on if the going gets unbearable. Lots of folks here have quit cold turkey. Personally I like the warm-chicken approach---less pain/more sane! ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/8/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 66 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,346 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $528 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

Uh-oh! I am (was) an avid patch user. I graduated down and, this time, into Chantix. Today is my day 4 nicotine free **applause in the background**. I also live in a very rural part of Tennessee. Work in the city, 40 minutes away. I do not go to town after I get home from work. We have a general store/post office just down the road. Stocked with cigarettes, chewing tobacco and dip--no patches. Tomorrow you leave early to get into town. First stop is Walmart. Buy the 14 Mg you need and stock up on the 7 mg. If, at any time you run out of 14, or if the drop from 14 to 7 seems drastic, you can combine two 7's. Do a search of nicotrol patches. In New Zealand they sell patches in 20, 15, 10 and 5 mg. Cheaper to order from there than Walmart! Go figure! I tailored my quit this time with a US and NZ combo.........21 mg, 20 mg, 15 mg, 14 mg, 10 mg, 7 mg, 5 mg.. Still freaking out of going patchless, so got Chantix. Bless this little blue pill. Wish I had discovered it before now. To appease SSC, always check with your physician before altering a prescribed program. :) May the force be with you!

Right on Peteg! So happy for you! Fondly, Free I felt so much better once all the nicotine was out of my system. It really made a huge difference.

Keep hanging in there peteg. I've had one crave between days 21 and day 189. Still smoking memories, but I remember my kindergarten teacher too. Neither make me 'want' to smoke.

Peteg, Sounds like today should be all about you! Take some time to yourself and sneak in a great reward for staying smoke free. You know where to find us if you need reinforcements for this fight. Danielle _________________________ The SSC Support Team

Peteg, So kick something really hard! Quitting is frustrating and it's important to find new outlets for those emotions. Keep persevering! Danielle _______________________ The SSC Support Team

Hi Peteg, Keep strong! Just want to point something out to you though. 50 dollars is about 6-7 days worth of 'quit money saved' by my reckoning. And how much will you have saved WHEN not if, you are still quit this time next year? 50 dollars? You're worth a lot more than that..
