I think we know by now... when you put your mind to something, you WILL
do it.  I have no doubt.   When you have a craving, just blog it away.

I wish I didn't.  Especially right about this second!  LOL!  I am drinking a ton of water trying to flush the nicotine out in hopes that will help reduce the cravings.

I saw too much Bel and it was enough to put me off
 I never felt addicted to smoking so it was not difficult for me

Both my father and his father passed due to lung cancer.  If I keep my family history in mind as my mother's side has heart disease, I expect I will remain motivated.

Now that is what I call a day
I  nursed a loved one with lung cancer

I quit once before and that was cold turkey.  I have the patch on hand in case I really go crazy but trail and failure method has proved that for me it's cold turkey or nothing!

I smoke an off brand which run about 3.60 a pack (I also find the cheapest place in town), I believe brand names run close to 5.00 a pack.  Also I live in Michigan which has very tax on cigarettes and alcohol so I am probably not the best gauge for the rest of the country.  When I started they were .45 a pack.

I tried cold turkey once, but failed miserably. The patch got me through it, my brother too. If you truly want to quit, you will. Good luck.

Go for it!
Thus far, I've quit about thirty one times since New Years. But then again, I can stand anything but pain and temptation...

Good luck!

Bel how much is a pack of cigarettes today? When I quit they were 75 cents
a pack.

Good for you Bel....it was one of the hardest things I did twenty years
ago...I quit cold turkey and haven't had another cigarette since! You can do it.....absolutely!

Good for you, Bel!
You can do it! My dad quit some years back and hasn't touched a cigarette since.

If you fail, it's okay, just try again!

I am not one to accept failure so I hope that works in this situation as well.
