Hi, I stopped smoking 12 days ago (Friday 25 Sept 2006), and have been using an NRT inhaler when needed. So far, I use only 1 cartridge (2 mg) a day. In addition, some day, I also use 1/4 of an NRT lozenge when the urge to smoke became too strong to bear !!! (I used a sharp knife to cut the lozenge into 4 small pieces!). So far so good, and I have some moments up and down ! I have been smoking for 35 years, and this is my 5th attempt to quit! I'm not a heavy smoker (10 cigs a day, on avegrage), but have found it very hard to quit ! I'm determined that I will succeed this time . I have been quietly readings messages at this website, and fount them very insightful and encouraging. Thank you, and plaese keep up your good work ! Cheers, nmc

Nomore cig, I inquired about those inhalers in the beginning of my quit, but all I was offered is 4mg. per cartridge. So welcome to the ssc and you can do it one day at a time :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 84 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,274 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $336 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16

Congrats on your decision to quit smoking. Knowledge is power, so get prepared. Get prepared for your mind to deal with emotions without the mask of a drug. Know that the nicotine in cigarettes has caused you to be physically addicted. Take comfort in knowing the physical withdrawal will stop approximately 72 hours if you can resist nicotine products. Be fully aware that your life routine will have to be experienced without smoking cigarettes for you to be quit. So throw them away. Do not save any. What is your routine? When do you smoke? Make a list of your triggers (when you would normally smoke). It is better to think about all of these things ahead of time so that you can go into battle prepared. Replace your bad habit (smoking) with good habits. Read about healthy ways to deal with stress/emotions and start practicing your new coping skills. Get yourself ready physically by walking more, take in more fluids, get plenty of rest and avoid becoming overtired. Tell people around you that you�re going to quit. Get yourself a Quit Buddy who will be there to provide you personal quit-smoking help and support. Fight the urge to protect yourself from looking silly if you don�t make it all the way. Believe in yourself from the very beginning. Make it come true. If you don�t make it this time, what matters is that you get back up and try again. Also, don�t forget to make rewards a part of your plan. Quitting takes a lot of work, so you want to make sure you give yourself credit along the way. Keep a list of rewards you look forward to - it will help keep you motivated. Watch out for alcohol, social situations, other smokers, weight gain, and bad moods/depression. These things can make you fall off the Quit Wagon. Like I�ve said � be prepared for these things. We�ve quit. You can too. We�ll be here to support you if you need us. I look forward to celebrating your milestones with you.

NMC, Great job. Tomorrow will be two weeks, no? Be sure to reward yourself for toughing it through. Also, let's see those stats! Be proud! Sometimes just seeing how much $ and life you've saved is a big reward in and of itself.
