I used NRT to quit. I was on the patch. I suffer from severe anxiety and knew that I would not survive a cold turkey quit. It was sheer torture though. Every time the the nicotine was reduced I suffered and then I had to suffer the worst when it finally came time to cut all of the nicotine. It. Was. Ugly. I’ll never smoke again though. I don’t have it in me to go through that again. I smoked 35+ years. 2 packs a day. I don’t advise NRT for anyone unless they suffer from some issue that calls for a weaning process. I hope that you find that you don’t need the NRT and just go ahead and kick Nicodemon and his many butts to the curb. Welcome aboard the train. I am so glad that you found us. I could not have quit without the support I received and still receive from everyone here. I’m looking forward to following your quit! See you around!

YAY Linda! It’s great to have you back!

You will be amazed at the support you receive on this forum! Join us to begin your journey and to become a part of ours. You CAN do this!

Congratulations on three weeks @overcome! You are doing great!

Congratulations on 9 years quit @Paul723!

I hope that you are back to quitting Linda! This could happen to any one of us. The most important thing is that you immediately get back to quitting. I hope that you are feeling better about yourself this morning. We are all here for you.

No. Matter. What.

So glad that you are recovering @Cbdave! Take care of yourself!

Welcome aboard @11better11! I’m thankful that you found us and decided to hop on the train! YES! KEEP READING! Reading everything available on this site helped me more than anything else. Watching the videos available helped me to understand a lot of what was happening to me physically and mentally. Stay close and post anything that you might have an issue with and someone will help you along. Again, welcome!

Thanks for the update Amy and thank you for the words of encouragement you have for others. You have an amazingly successful quit! I have no doubt that you will keep it!

Congratulations on 10 years!!!

Congratulations on your 5 month quit @DenaliBlues!

Congratulations on 9 whole years quit, Nancy!

Beautiful.

We are here for you @overcome! Just stick close to us this week and don’t forget about our SOS forum!

Welcome aboard @overcome! You have come to an amazing place for support in your quit! I could not have quit without this site. There is an amazing group of quitters on here that are committed to helping others do the same. What helped me the most during my initial quit was reading all of the threads I came across on this site and they helped even more than the videos and the book, but arming yourself with knowledge about your enemy and yourself is the key to victory! I look forward to following your quit!

Congratulations on 10 months!

Congratulations @JustSomeGuy! 9 months quit is awesome! You’ve done spectacularly well!

Congratulations @Kris! I’m so glad that you have fought to keep your quit and succeeded this past year! I’m proud to have you up here on the Lido deck with me!

THANKS FOR REPOSTING @jillar!

I’m still on the train!

Congratulations Denali! You have an awesome quit going. 4 months is a long time!

Sorry to hear that you are having a hard time right now Kris, but you have fought too hard to throw your quit away now. I feel for you and I’m hoping that you are able to get some sleep and that you feel so much better when you wake.
