I've gone 150 Days....

32 hours and counting.

Hopefully, when my wife gets paid again, we'll get some patches.

That's what's so friggin annoying about trying to quit - the cost of the "aids" to help you quit! I realize they're made by private companies that want to make money, but JEEZ! If the gov't really wants to help people quit, they should offer discounts on the gum and/or patch.


I successfully quit smoking 3 1/2 years ago using the patch for 2 weeks. That patch cost my dad $75. I was quitting not for my health, but because I couldn't afford cigarettes. Yet I couldn't afford to get the patch, so my dad, wanting me to quit, bought it for me. I'm very glad he did, or I'd have found a way to afford to keep smoking, since I never could afford that $75. The gum seemed nasty to me, so I couldn't chew it (ironic that I was smoking, which in and of itself is nasty, but I didn't want that nasty gum )

It's sad that people keep smoking because they can afford cigarettes, but not the patch.

*\o/* *\o/* *\o/* to those trying to quit! You can DO it!

Hang tough, guys!

Congratulations, guys! Keep it up!

I ended up buying the drug store "generic" version of Nicorette. Much much cheaper.

Also, my accountant told me to save my receipts because I can write it off on my taxes.

I've had "Hangin' Tough" by the New Kids on the Block in my head since reading this post this morning.

It upsets me greatly and it's all your fault!

GIS for "smoker"

I apologize for your remembrance of the 80s.

6 days and counting!

My goal is to catch up to jaerdaph, who I know has a substantial lead on me, so I'll just have to extra-not-smoke.

I'm trying to keep all my old smoker's routines, but sans nicotene. It's just about to time for me to have another Flavor-Ice.

Thank you, everybody, for the support, and particularly to jaerdaph, for the inspiration. It's working. Below is a link to the Thank You thread.

Good for you, AoW! We're all pullin' for you. Or pushin'. Whatever.
