CC... I really wish you the best of luck.

I am behind you and if you need to talk about it or let fustration out lemme know.

It is something I am passionate about as my Dad passed away as smoking was a huge factor, he was warned not to and gave up, but stress got to him and he started again and the rest is history.

I have never got into the habit myself (i did try it but thankfully i ended up ill and didnt take it up). So feel free to just post me any rant, insult, to my PM or yahoo, AIM or MSN if it helps you to. I am willing to be your punchbag

Good luck!

Wow, good luck Roger, really hope you make it, I'm sure you can!
I can't imagen how hard it must be to quit...I've never smoked personally since, well, just never been tempted I guess...plus I'm asthmatic so, that's just one reason that's put me off starting ^_^;
Again, good luck, respect you a lot for trying and I'm sure you can do it! Try all you can not to give in, 'cos then you won't have to go through the whole "quitting" stages again, as Serge has mentioned,
At the end of the day, it shall all be worth it

It's at 36 hours about now (midnight) and I haven't cracked...at least not physically.
I got a surprise today when a buddy I'd told about it dropped by with a care package. Specifically a 110 piece box of nicotine gum. Gawd that stuff is awful...
He also gave me a pep talk that amounted to a swift kick in the arse for not doing this sooner. I shall keep you all posted on my progress and all the support means more to me than words can express!

*hugs*

The thing about this friend is; he's been prescribed EVERY controlled substance currently known to man. You name it: Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamines, uppers, downers, the works. All in pursuit of treatment for his long list of medical problems.
I suppose it bears mentioning that this friend, Paul, is a legally blind tetraplegic (4 limbs and half his face are paralyzed to some degree).
A few years back he hooked himself on nicotine to prove to a girlfriend that it was possible to quit.

Well keep at it, or i'll come over there and give you a kick up the backside..... and i'll be p**sed at missing lunch

We are all behind you

Nicotine Gum negative side effect #1- Really screwed up dreams...seriously. Bleh...

One method of negative peer pressure that seems to work is using the British idiom for cigarettes. This leads to some awkward conversations to have people walk in on.

Whoot! 48 hours!!

Hold on, CC! We're here with too. I never smoked, agreed, but believe me, when people around me started to smoke and i even couldn't leave my workplace (at previous work) that was nothing but really crappy. So if you trying to eradicate this habit that means for me... the 'death' of another smoker, the destructor of other's health! ^_^ So, please, continue your struggle, i'm with you too.
