ok, i'm the world's worse for logging in Becoming AnEx. so please be patient with me . i do log in from time to time. first of all, i'm extremely proud of each one of you and hope you make your quit date. on the 5th of Feb, i will be 13 months quit. i smoked for 38 years. i wasn't giving too many choices. mine was life or death. the doctors wanted to give me the patch, e-cig, nicorette, anything. i was in CCU for 10 days or so. i asked how long it took to get the nicotine out of my system, was told 5 - 7 days. so my next question was why are you trying to give me nicotine to quit then? noone could answer. i laid mine down. plz don't get me wrong, it was the hardest thing i have ever done. i used to cry because i wanted one. but i took one day at a time and let me tell you, i bragged like crazy on 1 week lol. then i bragged on a month, 2 months, so on. i still brag on myself. years ago i tried the Chantix and it worked for me for several months, but Chantix is expensive and my insurence wouldn't pay and i couldn't afford all 3 packs. no excuse. smoked for 10 more years. plz commit to yourself, that You want to quit for You. i am thankful i did. i have my grandbabies now and i am not giving them 2nd hand smoke. i wish you all major success and keep telling yourself YOU CAN DO IT. great job so far to each one of you. many hugs
