Day 4 without coffee and I am struggling to get through the afternoon.

On the plus side, quitting really is contagious.

Keep it up!

As for it being contagious, seriously! I know my 2-3 cups in the am, and couple sodas thru the day were bad, so I've cut back to one-2 sodas a week, and coffee like every other day, and only one cup too. Not completely there yet, but working at it...

Day 2 cigarette free.   :banana: I am quitting with the patch this time.  Chantex worked when I stopped for 7 months from June 2010 - Feb 2011, but the trouble that I had trying to get off of it made me decide to use the patch this time.

I've been rocking the Nicorette mini lozenges.  About to come up on 3 months this weekend. 

I'm probably going to start switching my lozenges out to tics tacs sometime this month, so I can start getting away from the nicotine completely.  I definitely don't have a desire for a smoke.  I was offered a cigar NYE, but I declined.  I was worried it may be too soon.

Good decision! There is NO need to tempt yourself. I'll give you the same advice SF gave me when I considered having one at jazzfest a few months into quitting.

DON'T GO WITH THE CIGAR. I FELL OFF THE WAGON ONCE WITH A CIGAR SMOKED TOO EARLY FROM THE DAY I HAD QUIT.

mad props to anyone quiting currently.

i'm still trying...always, lol...

i just hit my approximate 20 year smoking daily mark... omg i'm over it.

on a side note i officially got away from Camel lights this year about 6 months ago now.
i had been smoking camels since probably 95 or so and switched to american spirit lights this year.
had to buy a pack of camels on new years when all the stores were closed or out of spirits, MAN do these camels taste like shit! lol.
its amazing how badly i can taste the chems in them now. mainly its the fire safe ccrap they started puttin in cigs out here, omg i cant stand it.
-I'm still walkin', so i'm sure that I can dance-

Hit the 2 week mark yesterday and pretty happy about it.  I know I've been here before (a few times) but I seem to have a little more drive this time.  The gym has helped, get there 5 times a week.  Good luck to everyone in here.

That's great man!  Congratulations... you can do it!

I am now 19 days in.  I have already noticed a difference in how far I am able to push it in the gym.
