We'll after 31 years, I'm happy to report I've haven't lit up a smoke in two weeks and I'm feeling pretty good.
I've wanted to quit cigarettes for several years and have made several half-hearted attempts but always found myself going back after experiencing the old white knuckle nicotine fit after a day or two. It's really amazing how addictive nicotine can be for some people. I've be able to make it stick by using 4mg nicotine lozenges, popping one between my cheek & gum about every three to four hours. I'll gradually cut back per the guidelines of the proscribed 12 week program.
Talk about taste & smell! Wow, it's all starting to come back. A couple of my co-worker are smokers and it's only now the that I realize how bad it smells on a person. Ms. Tuff Chick is really happy with my progress and is being especially nice to me!![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway, I would be interested to hear your success stories from any former smokers who have quit the habit and how you did it. Maybe we can use this as a support group for any other members who want to quit smoking too.
