Today I am quitting smoking for good. I have smoked for 12 years, and now it is time. It is going to be rough. :)

Day 1. I am trying the patch, I am sitting here buzzing. I still want a cig, even with the patch on.. I am just going to have to fight it.
-The day is now half over.. So far the hardest thing was driving into work. Tomorrow I think I am going to take a needle and prick my skin underneath the patch! :Q (j/k)


[Week 2 Update]
Well made it a full week so far!!!

I even went out and got RIIIIIIPPED on friday, and still did not smoke one.. That was freaking hard!

[30 Day Update]
Well today marks my 30th day without a single puff on a sig. I sent an email to cigarettes and this is what they sent back (yes, this is for real)

Dear Bill,

Thank you for being honest about your feelings. Although we've
been close, I admire your decision to put me aside and move
forward with your life. You have made a smart choice for
yourself and your loved ones. I wish you a happy smoke-free
life.

53 Day Update
STILL SMOKE FREE! I have not even had a freaking puff off one (new years was a challenge, but I drank my way through it) I am no longer on the patch or any other crutch.. I have to say the patch worked pretty damn good.

53 Days down!

178 Days of Not SMOKING!!!
Today is the 178th day of not smoking for me.. Man this is straight tits.
 

Sweet, I quit cold turkey 4 years ago.

Recently I've been smoking a bit here and there on the weekends.

Good luck man.

Remember the 3 day, 3 week 3 month rule, around there's where you're gonna be tempted most. Also, watch out after the year mark. I've known many people (myself included) who screw it up around then.

Edit: Buy a new video game. I'll keep your hands busy for the first few days, weeks if it's a good one.

One year ago today I quit. After 10 years I just stopped cold turkey. There's no other way in my opinion.

Best of luck to you. You won't regret it.

Good luck, you can do it! Chew a lot of gum to keep your mind off it, and keep yourself busy :)
