Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2005 Well Guys I'm right there with you now. I had 3 smokes left in the pack when I got up this morning and I tossed them in the trash. I got a birthday coming up this weekend and I told myself I was gonna try to seriously stop by my B day, so I got up this morning and told myself now is as good a time as any, no need to wait a couple more days for no reason. Really wanted one tonight but I'm gonna try not to do it. Guess this is the FTF support group now isnt it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sage8wt 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2005 Good luck guys! I've been trying to quit chewing as well. You guys are getting me motivated. However, I can keep it for only about 7 days then thats it. Guess I'm jumping on board here now too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapeBSalar 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2005 Way to go SD!! Get the patch man, it really helps! Sage, thanks for joining in! It is turning into the FTF quitter's club now isn't it!! I went all day at work and until 8 pm tonite without a patch on, wasn't too bad. This weekend I'm going to graduate myself to the step 2 patch and stay on that for another 3 weeks or so. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: 20 days and counting. Yeah Jamie, I was a bit frazzled, alot of company and lots going on, sorry I didn't have time to chat. I'll let you know when that package arrives too, I appreciate you sending it. Best all, Damian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddog48 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2005 I gave the smokes up May 1st and did it without the patch. If I can do it, anyone can. Actually, I did have help. I was going to visit my mom and dad and believe me, my dad is more effective than the patch. He has this look he gives that would make anyone feel guilty no matter what they did. So rather than listen to the sermons, it was easier to throw the smokes away. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
