I am quitting smoking and taking Chantrix. I still smoke every once in awhile. Yesterday and today I haven't had one tho. If anyone can send a support prayer, my name is Abe and it would be most helpful. I know i can do this with God by my side.

Tonight will be my last night smoking. I sure could use your prayers. Thanks!
All the best.
Does your mom smoke, BTW? I guess if you are ever around your mom, it does make a difference, one way or the other.

Oops! I thought today was Friday. Friday is our last day smoking. My mom quit smoking about a month ago, and my dad quit 9 years ago. Me and hubby are quitting together.
So you are going to do it tomorrow as well as today, then.
Last lungfull really the last...

Just bear in mind that just stopping , period, rather than doing a countdown, might work better.
(I quit too)

Maybe your right and I shouldn't pay attention to the amount of days I have quit. The fact is that i quit and never need to be subject to the cigarettes again or have them control my life. good idea faroukfarouk

I was just thinking that Steel says TOMORROW is the last day; but to do that she must want to get every last ounce of enjoyment out of it TODAY, right?
Some ppl would say, quit today.
Others would say, why are you quitting at all, if you are so determined to do it today, why not just discipline yourself to cut down and severely curtail the amount you smoke.
(Two cents')

I agree. When I finally decided I was going to quit, I quit then - it was 10:30 in the morning.
But if you stick with the date you choose, then I'll support you 100%!

Also, as a quitter myself, I would say, let't not be too hard on ppl who haven't completely quit yet.

I'm a big time planner. I've been following a program that suggests to choose a quit date and an NRT. According to the Mayo Clinic, a person is twice as likely to stay quit if they use another method than cold turkey. They also suggest a lot of other things to help prepare myself. But, the reason we have to wait for tomorrow is because my husband gets paid then so we can buy the patch.
You're doing great, Jordan and Abe!

Oh okay so I guess it's if it works, don't fix it.

The places where I've checked indicate that the longterm success rate of cold turkey far exceeds NRT.
ONE EXAMPLE
I'm also another example of sorts. I started with the 4mg nic-gum and worked down to the 2mg but would chew as many as 3 pieces at a time, then return to 4mg and 2-3 of those. NRT, for me, was just another delivery system for nicotine. As I've mentioned, I used the nic-gum for 97 days until I went cold turkey.
In the almost 2 years since I quit, I have talked with scores of people in the process of quiting and I've only met a couple who were successful with weaning down their NRT. (I even met a man that was addicted to nic-gum for TEN YEARS before he went cold turkey.) The majority of the ones with 2 or mores years nic-free went cold turkey.
If nothing else, memories of those rough early days of withdrawal help keep us from wanting to go through that again.

That was my understanding as well.
