A different kind of cheer for all of you today and just a loving reminder...that I am proud of each of you for just wanting to try.....and whether you make it through without lighting up or are tempted to light up, or do light up, I still will be so proud of each of you.

And always remember...you can do anything......You Can Fly !

...that I am proud of each of you for just wanting to try..


that is the key "trying" I tried many many times before I found what worked for me. Sometimes those trys were a long stretch in between, so don't beat yourself up, with thoughts or words just do the best you can.

I couldn't "rate" either of you two cause I need to spread it around...so:

All I can say is: thank you, nice to know that you guys care...seriously it helps a lot. This is going to a battle...been there before, years ago. (Hope I don't step on others' "feelings" during the process...last time was h**l)

Now, I have even more reasons to quit.

Allheart, thank you so much for that beautiful video.
The falls look like Angel Falls in Venezuela, if it is, it suits the song perfectly.

I hope everyone is doing well.
stringer, how you feeling on the medication?

I've been having withdrawals today.
Instead of buying Nicoderm CQ patches, I bought the generic brand this time.
I wonder if generic doesn't distribute the same way or as good as name brand
and maybe thats why it doesn't seem to be working as well as before. hmmm...

I have quit smoking every way that has been thought of! I am now trying Chantix and have been successful for 8 days. It has been less painful than any of the other ways. I am hopeful that this time last longer than the 10 years I had quit before I started again. One thing I have come to realize though is that I will always be a smoker fighting to quit.

You answered one of my biggest questions and that is whether or not a smoker is always going to fight the addiction.
I guess it's different for everyone and I'm still waiting to see how this time will effect me because I'm still using the patches to help me not smoke.

I have noticed that Chantix has been prescribed to use differently according to the individual person.
If you don't mind me asking, how was it prescribed for you to use?

Good job so far on not smoking.
I've heard lots of success stories about Chantix and I hope yours is
going to turn out a success as well.

I quit smoking without using anything about six months ago. I slipped up a few times, but I haven't had a cigarette since the end of August. I tried to cut down a lot before my quit date, and I think that helped. What really helped me was to exercise. I started jogging and it made me feel so much better and helped me to breath better.

My mother-in-law is using Chantix to quit. She has been smoke free for about 9 months now. She was a heavy smoker before, so I was so glad she quit. She feels so much better and says she can taste and smell things better now too. She is also in a support group for people who are trying to quit smoking at the local hospital.
