Re: 56 hours...

It is only hard if you think it is hard! You are an educated professional and you know the power of positive thinking! I quit almost 18 months ago after smoking for 26 years and 2-3 ppd. I chewed about 4 pieces of nocette gum which really tasted awful and I used 3 patches. After that I just decided that I did not even need a crutch. Even now I occassionally get an urge to lite one up but it passes almost as soon as it comes. Do not give up no matter how many times you have to restart your efforts! Good luck and God bless. Also - think about how much fun it will be to be around for your grandchildren,children, spouse,etc.

Re: 56 hours...

just to update everyone!

i have been smoke free for 25 days now! i feel great!!! i have been working out and i dont get winded when i walk up the stairs to my house! and i have only had to use my inhaler once a day now!

i used the nicotine gum like tic tacs for about a week and now i have completely quit that too!!

i am just so happy i have accomplished this, especially being a 2nd yr nursing student, and i hope this time i have quit for good!!!!

thank you so much everyone for everything. how are all my fellow quitters doing????
