I couldn't find my old thread, so I have to start a new one. Today is day 100 of being completely smoke free after 38 years of smoking those damned sticks. I feel good.
Life is good!

Nice one buddy. I have mad respect for what you are doing & admire your dedication.
How many cigarettes is that? Must have saved you a small fortune already :)

Congratulations GrandpaBW! I'm going to hold you up as my inspiration because I'm quitting on May 31st when I move into my new place. I don't ever want to paint those nasty yellow walls and ceilings again; it's disgusting. You're my "role model" GrandPa!!

Thanks, guys. It has been quite the ride, and the ride is not finished yet.
@Lethal: 7,000 less cigarettes have gone through my system. It is really scary when you think about it. That is a bunch of nicotine.
Life is good!

@GrandpaBW
Congrats on the 100 days of being smoke free!
One day hopefully I can do the same (though actually trying to quit would help for me)!
@gerry1
Good luck on your resolution for 5/31!

Keep up the good work.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be 7 weeks for me,
But I was using (Copenhagen) Chewing tobacco for over 15 years.
I have been succesfully using the nicotine patch,
And have started using step 2 (14mg) for a week now.
My motivation is for my children and family,
It has been easier than I expected so far.
Good luck everyone I wish you all the best!

Thanks Retro, and Binkie.
@gerry1: I'm here for you, when you quit. You will beat the demons. They are the worst for the first month, but they can be beaten, if you want them to be.
@Jizmack: What you have done so far, is more impressive than what I have done. The Commit lozenges that I have been using, don't work for snuff folks.
Congratulations on the 7 weeks, and some damned hearty high fives to you, sir!
Life is good!

@GrandpaBW do you still get the cravings? I've chewed cope and smoked (not at the same time but interchangably) for about seven years. Each time I try to quit I get these nasty nasty stomach aches. I can't take em and as soon as I have a dip or a smoke they go away.. Another thing thats hard is I really like to smoke when I drink and well, I sorta live in a party house so theres always drinking...

Thanks, Pepsi. RoNin, I have not had real cravings in a month or more. But, there are circumstances that I would have thought about lighting up, if the cigarettes had been here.
You have to understand that it isn't always a craving that causes us to put a smoke in our mouths. Most of the time, it is habit.

@aabbccdd...Well, you're absolutely right there but its interesting that purely psychological urges can be so powerful; the physical addiction to nicotine only lasts about 72-96 hours depending on the individual and then its all in your head but as with any other drug, the WANT is still there long after the actual physical need is gone. I always do well the first two or three weeks then the motivation starts to wane and it gets me every time.

You can do it, Gerry. I wish you luck when you give it a shot at the end of May.
I am still keeping up my guard. I know that it would be easy to slip and fall back into that world of smoking. I am doing my best to prevent that from happening.
Life is good!
