AnnieD, I can relate to the standing outside smoking…makes us all look like a pile of refugees, huddling together while “those who don’t” don’t look upon us so much with pity as with scorn and disgust. I have a whole box of patches sitting waiting, begging, to be employed but, so far, I just eye them as I walk by. I’ve tried them before, years ago, but…good grief, the itching on my skin drove me to smoke to take my mind off it! And then I’d think about a cigarette and here would come another “itch” so it was off with the patch (don’t want to OD on nicotine). We are certainly nowhere near your cost for cigarettes…and yours are by the pack, right? Not a carton. And yes…as I write I’m sitting here savouring my puff. Sometimes I just disgust myself……………….

Oh, how I wish I had never started smoking.
I detest the smell of smoke in the house, clothes etc but still cannot stop.
I am not allowed to smoke at work: I refuse to stand out in the cold to have a cigarette yet still I am unable to give up the dreaded weed.
Tried patches, does not work for me and some say it is more dangerous to use them than to smoke.
Considering a packet of cigarettes costs more than £5 in the UK, $10 USA, you would think that would make one stop smoking.
Well, all I have to say is, I am off to have a cig. Maybe one day!

Allright Maat option 2. As soon as I find a magic lamp and the genie appears, my last wish will be that smoking is a benign habit. Works for me and the Tooth Fairy agrees. Just don’t beat yourself up. It takes a few quits to quit.

:-O Love the idea of being in limbo while quitting smoking! How cool…if there was a guarantee it would work. I cannot even look at a cigarette while having a migraine, really bad cold but as soon as the symptoms are alleviated, one or five days being off them are as nothing. Anyway, all of this is moot…I’m not doing so well with the quitting. I want the impossible…to go back to the days of yore when I could smoke a couple of cigarettes, forget I even have them until, two weeks later I find the open pack and the smokes are so stale thought nothing of chucking them in the trash. AND I didn’t even feel compules to run out and buy more! I do appreciate the wishes of luck but think it’s going to take more than that. Certainly, I’ve cut down…just not “out”. And forget the savings…it’s costing me more to buy a pack than a carton. If you find the answer to your call, YKNOT, can you come back here and let me know who, where and when?

I too smoke and wished I never started. Withdrawal sucks. Not just for me, but for the poor people (or pets) who come in contact with me over the next few months. Oh the apologies and amends I’ll have to make…..lol. I know what I have to do, but finding a physician who will voluntarily put me into a medicinal coma for 3 months is hard to find. Just think, I can’t kill anyone, kick the dogs, tell people what I really think, less road rage, and I can leave my gun right where it is. To wake up months later, addiction controllable, impurities in a land-fill somewhere, and don’t have to look over my shoulder for an ambushing retaliator. Good Luck and where do you live?…..lol.
