I have a question, Should I start a New thread?

9th day of being Nicotine sober. On the Patch but stll having cravings from time to time.

Day 6 everyone! It was a little tough yesterday but Today is a New Day!! Breathe, meditate ,stay busy is my goal for today.

Thanks all! Just to let you know, Walgreen's has "Quit Smoking kit' with a bunch of stuff for my health. Chewing gum, toothpaste ,Cough drops, Melotonin , lip balm, Tums etc....!!! It's FREE with a purchase of Nicotine Patches.

On my 5th day of quitting!! Doing just great on the "patch". Thanks's all!!!

Thanks everyone!! You all are so gracious and uplifting all at the same time. My wife and I have been together for 30 years! I'm 55 and she's 48. I'm on the Patch and she's doing it "Cold Turkey". What a "trooper" she is!!!! This is only our 4rd day but it's going very nicely. I still have cravings but somehow fight through them with Meditation and sleep. I'm disabled and don't work. So this works out for me. She works remotely and stays very busy during the week. Thanks and follow us please for advice. SAL and Anita

Thanks everyone for sticking with me. I just went on the patch on Sunday Night 1/2/022!! Also, my wife also quit too. Wish us luck! I got an excellent partner to do so having quit before in the past for 9 months , she can definitely be a HUGE help. All your comments and Advice welcome. Thanks. Sal

Thanks! Please don't give up on me.

The cravings right now are pretty rough. I have a rain and waves CD I just got. Maybe I'll try to meditate and fall aleep?

Clues ? I'm so wound up from Xmas, (eating, having a glass of wine). Now eating candy and drinking Water. I'm embarrassed to say. One hour.

Thanks, thinking of meditating. My wife got me a CD of Waves and Nature sounds.

Hello to all and anyone out there. I need a cigarette and need help through this. Thanks in advance !!

I haven't had a cigarette in 4 hours. Having a strong craving. Please Help !! I want one right now! Thanks SAL

Cannabis just became legal here in Connecticut. I don't have a problem with it. Smoking scares me to quit have smoked for 40 years now. The Anxiety meds are addictive as well as the Pain Meds. I've Already detoxed from those. NEVER again!!

Jillar, I can't afford afford the High prices of edibles here. I pay $76 for a Half ounce a week. That's the cheapest around and it helps. Back to smoking, I am committed , just need a little kick in the Ass.

Our goal is January 1st for a true quit date. She also said she would do it with me. I will watch the tapes and love the way everyone is so helpful !! :::: }}}}}

Also, I have a condition that causes widespread pain and also extreme Anxiety. The Cannabis really helps and smoking is my cheapest option. I enjoy it too, to relax.

Okay, I have a few things to admit to. One, I already am on Oxygen :( I know I know, Very bad. Second, I am a Cannibus user (have license).. I already was on Anxiety Meds and they didn't help my situation. I was on Pain Meds for years and it almost turned tragic. I detoxed off those. NEVER again !!!!! Patches are those only think that helped but I want to do it Cold Turkey.

All my triggers are really hard to overcome. After eating, sleeping, showering etc.....

Thanks Thanks yoda! I have some meditation CD's a Doctor gave me. I have to dig them up. I also have a HUGE problem after eating.

Thanks Yoda and the rest of the gang. I try to stay busy on a coin forum that I belong to. I also listen to music and go i my room and listen to waves on CD and lie down. I just succumbed to a few drags. It was only three hours in. I'm trying that candy trick but it doesn't help. The patches help but my Wife is fed up with buying anymore. I agree. I have to do this on my own, right??? I apologize but then I steal or ask repeatedly for a cigarette acting like a 2 year old. I hate it!!! THE Worst thing is I don't even like her brand. PLUS I have COPD !! What is it goig to take ?? Where are these video's?

First off. I want to Thank Everyone for replying. My wife has an easier time with quitting but enjoys smoking. I on the other hand have a fit anytime I reach he 3 or 4 hour period of not having a cigarette. My cravings have been brutal and have messed up my wife's sleeping because I wake her at night for a cigarette, She usually leaves me 2 over night but that seems to be not enough. I feel like a real loser and jerk for mistreating her during my craving fits. I need to strongly work on this. I'm Having a craving now. Please help me through it.

Hello everyone! My name is Sal and I'm 55 and trying to quit Cigarettes. I've tried several times but just can't get past a few months without at the most. I live with my wife who also smokes and is so fed up with my smoking is willing to quit also. I just can't get past the cravings. I've been on the patch several times and just have problem jumping ship so to speak. Please help!!
