Praying for ya buddy. Nicotine addiction is a very strong addiction. Your body is going to revolt as you deprive it. Give me a call anytime you need to vent. With God's help you will make it through.

I applaud you for trying to quit. It is not an easy task. I used patches that didn't work until I had went through about six batches. It isn't all mental, the body becomes addicted and accustomed to nicotine and there are withdrawal symptoms. The body rids itself of nicotine in 30 days the rest is mental because the body no longer needs it to be comfortable. Ten years ago I was smoking three packs daily. Nothing seemed right unless I had them to lean on.If I got out of breath and had to stop some activity l would light up to settle myself down. Yeah, I know that was dumb. I didn't quit until I got COPD. It was quit or die so I made the effort to succeed if it took me fifty efforts. I know this sounds unbelievable to you now but I go for days and weeks without thinking of smoking. Only when talking about it does it cross my mind. On this I wish you success much more than I would ever wish you success hunting or getting a rifle shooting true. Whip that addiction and you will be very proud of yourself. I will be pulling for you. I wish you become a non smoker soon. Ben

My connection is sometimes not great but the "Person" on the other end sure is. I will add you to our prayers. Ed

Prayers offered. I have had some addictions in my life...serious one's I might add. And with the help my lord i have been able to overcome those quite easily...Thanks to his help. But I must admit...I used to chew snuff And if I was awake I had it in my lip...even got up to p inthe night and at time's took a quick chew.... That was the hardest thing in my life to quit..And that was 25 years ago...and I still crave it. I worry and pray for my son..28 years old and just decided he need's to smoke...  Drop |

How are you doing with your effort to stop smoking? I had to experience failure after failure befor I finally broke the habit. Good luck and believe me it is worth it if it takes a year to quit. Ben

I can't help but eating chocolate at times even though it often gives me migraines. I can't even imagine quitting smoking(have never tried one, fortunately) with it's addictive nature. You, with God's help CAN do it!

Although you smoked 1 year longer than I have walked the earth I know you can quite. I did but I went though a lot of hard-candy the first few weeks. Keep it up.

Rusty,
I know what you are going thru, i smoked 1 year longer than you did. It was hard to give them up, i found that fireballs helped me more than anything and I still carry a pocket full with me, I have been quite now a little over 2 years. hang in there you can do it.

I chewed tobacco for 23yrs and I must say smoking and drinking were far easier to quit for me personally. My addiction stopped when I thought I had mouth cancer. The last two years I chewed it was so undesirable and I actually hated doing it but I could not stop. I think that the thoughts of losing half my face to a tobacco leaf somehow flipped a switch inside my brain. You can do it, just remember that its an addiction and "you" don't need it to survive. There are plenty of us out here who can relate to how your feeling right now just stay the course. Your in my prayers.
