His number may skew your research - lol. Mine number is coming up at 24,203 at this minute. Now, I'm gonna watch my ticker for a day or two. I bet it does not change at all - wait and see.

My ticker's broken and hasn't worked for months now when I did have it. I'll make another one later to see what my count is. I m sure it's a few!

Ouuuu ..... I'll have the blue one please

First job I ever had was on a line, assembling TV's At first I was they person bolting the transformer onto the TV chassis then graduated to filling in spots on the line for bathroom breaks.That was a long time ago and to this day I remember spinning those 4 nuts onto 4 bolts as the line moved on relentlessly. Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying about time to think. Direct those thoughts toward the benefits you'll be enjoying from quitting. Better health, more $$ to spend on things you want, not smelling like a stale ashtray, feeling proud of yourself for knowing what you can do in quitting the smokes. The list goes on an on.

I was the same way lol. Bitchy as hell in those early days. Not very nice to be around and cravings that seemed to have no perceivable start or end to them. Hey, I got through it by sheer will power at times in those early days. I WAS NOT giving up no matter what. And you know what ..... it worked Time seemed to stand still in the first couple of weeks or so but eventually started moving again (thank god) It does sound like maybe you weren't getting a nicotine feed off those patches so maybe just stay the course without any other quit aid. You can come here to rant and rave when you need to. We get it

Great work Lilly! I know you had a lot of false starts but looks like you're finally in the grove - the smoke free grove

Each person needs to do what they are comfortable with in terms of how they quit but here' a fact about nicotine in your bloodstream. It takes 3 days, 72 hours, to rid nicotine from your body no matter how many cigs you smoked per day. That's the relatively easy part of quitting. It's reshaping your daily life so you can function comfortably without cigs that takes a long time and a steadfast commitment over that time. Whatever you do, once you suspect nicotine is out of your body DO NOT reintroduce it under any circumstances. That's a step backwards!

Good idea -3
