    12 hours and counting

    12 hours, that's how long I have made it without a cigarette. This nicotine patch is making me sick and feel funny, but I have not smoked!

    In 20 years of smoking and countless times trying to quit, I have never even made it this long. I know it is going to be hard, but this time I can do it (even though I would just about kill for one right now )

    Hmmm maybe the money I save by not smoking can fuel my other addiction, more snakes!!!

    Good luck and remember you can do it . I quit almost 4 years ago after smoking for 16 years and it is one of the best thing I ever done.

    Re: 12 hours and counting

    Quitting was one of the best things I ever did. Think about how much healthier you will be and how much money you will save. Things will taste better, smell better, and you will feel so much different overall once you get past the physiological cravings. After that, it's just a mental game to prevent yourself from relapsing, but it gets easier and easier with time.

    Congrats! I'll be jumping on the wagon also. I'm sure I'll need a padded room for at least a week.

    If you think the patch is making you feel funny now, wait'll you get some of those vivid acid dreams.

    I quit a few years ago using the patch, after I smoked for about 15 years. And it was totally worth it. The extra cash feeds the scaly addiction now.

    Hang in there, you can do it!
