Happy Birthday NayNay! Click the link below for your card. http://www.jibjab.com/view/AuekVYqHsMniFxY9m2uV

Nothing worse than restless cats!

Awesome to "see" you. I wondered where you were. Glad your quit is going well. Don't be a stranger!!

It must be getting close! I saw Beacon in my grilled cheese sandwich today! When that happens I know someone's anny is near! This of me as the Sammy whisperer! hahahaha

Not 4 more days already! WTH!! Where does the time go!

Just hang on, a nerd is on the way for you folks who can't change your password.

Yup, best thread ever! Tracey did what she's supposed to do and the gang here did too! I don't have anything to add here either as it's all been said :) I'm not surprised your feeling this way though what with being in a different country, new experiences. You'll get through it kid. xoxo

I should clarify as I fear I may have sounded too harsh that most of us have tried the "cut back method" at one point or another. It just never works. That's why I feel the way I do about it. Just have never seen a successful quit doing that. It seems like, especially since you are getting up in the night to smoke that it's not working the way you were hoping either. Oh and welcome to the board!! Very happy to have you here.

Gradually cutting back on smoking does not help you to quit. It's just torture for one thing and makes you obsess about smoking even more IMO. Set a quit date and stop all together. Use a quit aid if you feel it will help, but not cigarettes. The only way to quit smoking is to quit smoking. Stick around and check out the videos and other threads that can help you on your journey to a smoke free life. It's not as hard as you think.

I'm here, doing my time....hahahaha I miss Babbles Mom and Tiff too.

Woops..didn't make the votes public..........can't change it now so please folks, vote your conscience! hahahaha

So happy for you! Always knew you would make it. A video of the celebration is in order....featuring Sandar, Action, Ava, Nancy and YOU! http://www.jibjab.com/view/Udu_R5TFQSSb33KSq6Wdpg?utm_campaign=URL+Copy&utm_content=tequila_edf_group&utm_medium=Share&utm_source=JibJab&cmpid=jj_url

A poll to celebrate! Very happy for you Jengles! Thanks for being here with us. It's been a pleasure to share in your journey!

Seriously excited now............

Seven days to the party! I can't wait !!!!

Holy Cow!

Hey DF, I used Chantix for less than 12 weeks ----maybe like 4-6? I didn't wean terribly long from it but I do remember craves when I did. I think it's likely that the timing of the craves is because you are entering the as yet "unknown" world of quitting without an aid in place any longer. Just like giving up any crutch ending your NRT use is the final step to your new non smoking life. It's all a mind game really, this addiction--- once the nicotine is out of your system. I chewed gum, and a lot of tic tacs etc.... to distract myself when I had those craves. Find something to do to distract yourself and congratulations on reaching this milestone in your journey! Many do not allow themselves to get this far, so be proud you did and know that it will only get better and better. Don't let the cigarette psych you out! You're doing a FANTASTIC job!!

Welcome back JenW! You know what to do! Remember NOPE and stick to it no matter what. :) xx

I could not be happier for you Gem! You really rocked this quit and you have been an awesome support to all your QT friends! You deserve to take some time to celebrate YOU and this awesome quit you have!!! I've attached your party video. Featuring Joe, Petra, MQ, Jimmy and YOU! http://www.jibjab.com/view/RdomGF9oR7CGPQOZa9mz3g?utm_campaign=URL+Copy&utm_content=celebration_edf_group&utm_medium=Share&utm_source=JibJab&cmpid=jj_url xoxoxoxoxox

Just a few more hours now.....I'm so excited!
