6 Years....

Check my previous post, you can take it up to 6 months I believe. I honestly didn't want a cig after about a week it was more habitual than actual need, although I wanted to murder people I didn't want to smoke :D

Congrats Mark!

That is what happened to me. I had to quit taking it after about 3 weeks. (and 10 lbs)

[not giving up, not giving up, NOT giving up!....]

Thats awesome Mark!

6 years is a looong time!

I was 14 when you quit smoking LOL!

Glad I only dabbled in smoking and got out of it fairly quick.

happy b day

Maaaannnnn....... CONGRATS!!!!! :bow::bow::bow:

The hub and I are patching it as of the new year.... :rage: I've cheated a total of 9 times!?!?! (Being around smokers) :oops: But almost 2 months of not buying ANY..... I was a 1 packer a day, Rob was 1 1/2- 2 ..... I have an awful rash on my arm... horrible dreams... NO FINGERNAILS....BUT I feel SO much better!!!!! Except the fact that my belly has decided to expand.... :rolleyes: BLAH! Anyway.... I give you the highest props! Hopefully one day I'll have the same bragging rights! :)

congrats on the achievement!

Thank you all for the well wishes. I smoked for over 30 years, and tried to quit several times per year for the last 15 years of that time. I tried the nicotine gum, nicotine patches, gradual reduction filters (they were long plastic filters that made me look like some kind of old time movie star), hypnosis, behavior modification classes, group therapy, keeping journals, snapping rubber bands around my wrist, depression medication, exercise plans, herbal remedies, and plain old fashioned cold turkey. The hardest part of the whole thing was constantly dealing with the failure of not being able to quit. But you have to remember, you can fail thousands of times, you just have to be successful once.

Hey, its a start! try chewing the gum or something, but you cant expect to not to have headaches the first few days and even weeks. Start off slow, and work your way up. Its not easy at all and giveing up after a few hours of withdraw will not solve anything.

Congrates mark:gj:
