Congratulations Max on 5 months! That's fantastic!

I can't really help you on your question (this quit was cold turkey) but....... I have thrown away at least 3 partial boxes of patches since I became a serial quitter. I try to look at it as How much money has gone up in smoke in over 46 years of smoking? I don't even think about it as wasted money - those were attempted quits that led me to my sticky quit. What price is your health??

Hi unsmokeyourself & welcome! Good that you are doing some homework. Reading here is a great start...lots of videos also! Ice water & healthy snacks...sprinkle in some junk food that you love! Deep breathing exercises...positive attitude....commitment... Don't wait, over-thinking gives you too much time to chicken out. You can do it...glad you're here...hope you stick around.

Thank you sweet & wonderful people! You are my rocks & my salvation. You are my spirit lifters & my doubt squashers. This - BY FAR - has been the most difficult quit of my life. In past quits, I kick back and wait for The Big Excuse - it always shows up...okay tragedy has struck you can smoke now, but....way to go....you tried..... This time my mantra got me here - Smoking Is Not An Option - Along with an amazing support group, education about the addiction, NOPE, and one fearless husband who has lived with the spawn of satan without blinking an eye. But...I move forward with caution... The demon is not dead and as long as she is living I must fight the (ever changing) good fight. I can not and will not go back to square one again! This cat is too old & tired. I think it's best to hang around another year (or so) to cement my quit and move toward that beautiful feeling of freedom. (and to those that I will never see again (but will remain in my heart)...if you are lurking...thank you for supporting me in my journey )
