I haven’t seen any posts lately, so I was just wondering through these stressful times, if any of our BBers were successful in their quest to quit!!
I am so relieved, I didn’t miss month 4!!! This is month 4!
Come sit by me, you will always have a sympathetic ear here 
Maybe you will enjoy this statement, attributed to a star baseball player (a while back 
)–
“Smoking is what I do best. I smoke good and I smoke consistent. I hardly ever have an off day smoking.”
How do you get those inhaler thingies? 
You will never want a cigarette again, it’s a learned response type of treatment!

You’ll have to explain to me exactly how that works…
I am on week three and if I could pass by a carton or two of cigs on September 11, I think I’ve got it licked. Congrats to YOU!!!
Whenever you feel the urge to pick up a cigarette, you eat a grapefruit. After about three days the desire to smoke vs the taste of grapefruit shoves the urge right out of your mind.
Just seeing people smoke is enough to cause your tastebuds to shrivel and your stomach to cry out for Tums.
You must eat a grapefruit every time or it doesn’t work. Believe me, I quit in a week and have had no desire to light up since 
Hint: Buy a LARGE bag
Good for you 2Dogs.
I celebrated my 11th year of not smoking on September 5th.
All of you that can will…

Should be easy here!
I was a non-starter. So now I have to set a new quit date. Bummer.
As a former smoker myself, I have to applaude you guys for quitting smoking. It has been over 8 years since I quit smoking and I can tell you that there is no better feeling in the world. I smoked for over 11 years (started when I was 11, quit smoking when I was 22), I watched my father die from lung cancer when I was 17 and well, caused some lung damage to myself. The lung damage has cleared up a bit and I don’t have to use an inhaler on a regular basis but I do have to use it on occassion. My Dr. diagnosed me as an asthmatic when I was 18. Do I regret smoking? You bet.
But anyway, I just wanted to say congrats on the quitting smoking and best of luck to all who wish to quit. It can be done. 
I just passed the 8 month mark. I wish when I quit I had a support team but I did it on my own. It feels so good not to smoke but I can still understand why people do. Good luck everybody.
My excuses are endless but at the end of the day, I don’t think I had the resolve to finally quit smoking. Took the Zyban for two weeks, but remained at a single pill a day as I found the double dose was too great an interference to sleep and sanity.
I’ve taken myself off but will resume the pill-popping in two weeks; failing that I’ll get the Nicoderm patch. It’s clear, though, that firstly I have to make the mental commitment to quit. And truth be told, I was hoping that the Zyban would allow me to bypass that basic detail.
I’m on my 6th week smoke free. As stated earlier…if I could pass by cartons on Tues and still resist the urge…I think I’ve got it licked. Although, I still want one…
Congrats to all the smoke free-ers. Keep it up!! Heidi-ugh…don’t give up!!
