    TEk, your tests will continue each and every day. With any success, hopefully you will find that each day will be a little easier. Some days will be more critical than others to overcome the temptation---been there/done that.

    Not with me! Once I got past that third day, I never had the slightest desire to smoke at all after that.

    I'd think twice about that!



    And furthermore, what about your buddies?:




    Seriously, lotsa luck guy.

    I think I have quit:
    100+ times.

    When I was at the 2 week point I nearly had a relapse. I was at work talking to some guy I'd never met before and was lamenting my suddenly intense desire to have a smoke. Out of nowhere a gorgeous woman walked over to us and offered a free cigarette from her tray (she was a cigarette girl and was part of a promo sponsored by a major cigarette company). I took one and was nearly about to light it up when this stranger I'd been talking to grabbed it out of my hand, threw it on the floor and stepped on it saying I didn't need it. It took a lot of cheek to do that (I don't know if I'd have done it in other circumstances) but to this day I owe him a debt of gratitude. I didn't try to smoke any more freebies after that nor have I smoked a single cigarette since.

    No problem for me. I quit cold turkey (1.5 pack a day).....while in the hospital, that is. Having a heart attack and subsequent emergency quadruple-bypass surgery, lying in a hospital bed for 6 days with 6,342 tubes inserted your body, tends to discourage the smoke habit.

    Thanks again everyone. Day 3 in the non-smoking house and feeling quite grouchy. The thought of a heart attack and subsequent bypass should be enough to get me through today (thanks bistro!).

    TEk

    It also helped me to stay busy and physically active and avoid doing things during which I'd usually smoke.

    You can do it. You've passed the critical stage and now it's your own choice whether to smoke or not. Remember that you only have to quit smoking ONE cigarette. The next one.

    Make a jug of extra strong and spicy chai tea and keep it in the frig. When the smoking urge gets really strong go take a big drink right outta the jug. The taste will distract you for that critical one minute when the smoking urge will diminish. (If you get some up the nose the hacking will help to remind you of what smoking was like. )
