Congrats to you too Dee! This is one of the toughest things I have ever done..... I spent the first week crawling out of my skin and tempted to go dig through the trash looking for butts to smoke... I know gross.... I didn't but I thought about it a lot. I am using the patch and an e-cigarette. I like the e-cigarette cause I get to draw on it just like a cigarette and it actually tastes like a smoke.

To Suncloud on reply #8......I quit in October because being sick helped me. I had pneumonia and I got scared because I was having a very hard time breathing, so I just let them go. Its almost 3 months now and I feel so happy and free and I can breathe better. The cravings come and the cravings go but I am not leaving this world attached to an oxygen machine. Good luck to us!

Good going, DivineSilence!!!!!

And to everyone else who is winning in the battle with the demon tobacco!!!!

It's a hard habit to kick -- but how harmful cigarettes are cannot be stressed too much.

I wish you all continued success!!!

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
