Question for people who have quit smoking

[efeezy]

I wish you lots of luck Dawn.

Not to hijack your thread but I'm on my second week of trying to stop using dip (skoal, chewing tobacco, etc).

I've been doing it on and off for years but I finally decided I needed to stop..and my wife also decided for me that I needed to stop, because she hated it and I was always trying to hide doing it.

The first few days sucked, but I think I'm at the point where the Nicotine is out of my system, but it's the damn habit that I miss. When I'm driving home from work I want a dip. When I'm playing golf with my buddies I want a dip. After a beer...I want a dip. If I'm working in the yard, a dip would be so good.

Every time I go to a gas station or convenience store, I'm tempted to buy a can, but I just try to get out quick. I'm really just trying to keep taking it one day at a time. I wish I could find a replacement habit for it that wasn't harmful, but I'll just keep resisting the urge and I'm sure at some point I won't be thinking about it all the time.

Man these habits are hard to kick.

Somebody has to pay for them. :dunno:

Just yankin your chain, Dawn.

Hope all goes well ~

I know they arent free! :1orglaugh

But i somewhat already paid for those via taxes (prescribes patches are covered with Quebec Province Healthcare System, for few months i think) - so I don't want to pay a second time to get them

I wish you lots of luck Dawn.

Thanks efeezy. And feel free to hijack as much as you want. If anyone (including myself) can find advices, help and support here, i will be more than happy.

Good luck to you too :hatsoff:

(...) but....who put that idea in your head?

think about it.

If it wasnt myself, i know it would have no chances to work

There is nobody around me putting pressure, i don't think i'm influenced by the media campains.

I just decided few years ago that 25 years of smoking was enough... and i'm scared to death to not be able to follow my own will
