Hi Vincenza, I like one of your tips for staying hydrated "start and end each day with a glass of water". I don't drink enough water so I think I am going to take your advice and make a small but significant lifestyle change. Thank you Vincenza.

What is your favorite quitting method and why?
Hi Josie, I used the patch. I followed the directions religiously. I read the booklet that came with the patches about a hundred times then read all I could find on the internet about nicotine addiction. Understanding that you are dealing with an addiction is key. Until you understand that and all its ramifications you will not be sucessful in your quiting attempt. To do that I recommend reading , reading and reading some more on the subject. The net has enough information to keep you reading for a lifetime. (a lifetime , btw, that get significantly longer as you read ! )
Hi Humble ! Glad you found us to help you quit. You will find lots of great people here who can help you every step of the was and in return I bet you will help many of us !
I see you like to read and research , one of the things I always stress as key to a permanent quit is to research nicotine addiction. Fully understanding what you are dealing with will give you the tools to win this fight and it is not as hard as you may think. There will be some tough days but they will get fewer and fewer and before you know it smoking will just become just a passing thought from a past life.

Hi Terry ! you made the smart move by stopping smoking and coming to SSC. @ days that's great. Withdrawl symptoms usually peak at 72 hours. Tomorrow nearly all the nicotine will have left your body and withdrawl symptoms will start to subside. Your body is already well underway in healing itself.
Somethings that helped me was to sip ice water when "raging" and take very slow , deep breaths. It gets easier Terry and you will Love being and ex-smoker. You will Love your new life. Take it one day at a time one hour at a time. It is so worth it ! And beleive it or not its gets easier everyday !
Good morning everyone ! I'm dodging those puddles too Cameless and I'm doing it 6000 cigarettes lighter !!!
I will not smoke today !
Come ! Join a Parade !
