I have gone 6 hours without a cigarette

CONGRATS! This is my second week of "cut back smoking". I was going to cold turkey it with the gum... and I just don't have the will power yet to give them up completely. I"m not quitting because I want to be healthier or anything like that, I'm quitting because of cost. SO, I went from 20-30 cigs a day, down to 5ish a day. One pack every 4 to 7 days is much more manageable then one a day or whatever. SO - i will say a HUGE good luck to you! And the new gum is quite refreshing! lol. I got the mint kind. OH, and if you run out, instead of paying $40 for a box... go on ebay. I got mine for $13.50... and I also made the mistake of NOT reading the directions and chewed it like regular gum, holy crap does that make you sick! lol Okay, good luck again!!!! And if you need any support... I'm here for ya! And CONGRATS for making the change! ;o)

Congratulations!! You can do it, you know you can! It's just a matter of breaking that physical habit of hand/arm motion more than anything. Be sure to avoid behaviors that led to your having one, like drinking coffee at the breakfast table. If you had one there, move your coffee to the living room or out on the porch. By avoiding the behaviors you avoid the craving for the habit. You'll be glad tomorrow when you realize you've gone a whole day. Soon it'll be a few days then a week--hooray for you!

Good job! Actually 6 hours is a long time. you are doing good. I have to quit also but so far...not very successful. I have cut back quite a bit. Your're doing great. Keep it up!

[b][/b][i][/i][u][/u]Congrats Way too GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Good Job! More than what I can do right now I wish you the best of luck and I will be praying for you!

Well done! they say quitting smoking is very difficult and so your six hours is considerable time. You deserve commendation. I hope you hold on tight and put the 50 bucks to better use. 'Where there is a will, there is a way.' All the best.

Good for you I wish i can go one hour with out one. I mean If I put my mine to it I know i can do it that goes for every thing. I have two girls one is 12 and the other is 17 the y are driving me crazy.

This is a good start. I hope finally you will get rid of smoking successfully at last. My dad had smoked for a long time, but he quit it at last a few years ago. I'd like to share his experience with you. When he felt like smoking, then he would go to do some housework, such as mopping the floor. Then he would forget to smoke. After one week, he didn't really want to smoke any more. I love China

Quitting is the best thing for you - for your health and financially. The best thing to do is say "I AM going to quit." and not "I'm going to try to quit." It's all psychological to start.

Good luck.

It must be hard to break a habit like that most specially if it's been into to your system for a long time. I believe you can make it through as rejecting or stopping habits don't just prevailed easily. some people even get sick because their not smoking. there was a even a reality show that tells about a group of people breaking away from smoking. and i can tell from that show that it was really hard for them that some doesn't get enough decent sleep. you'll get used to it. just focus..

Hi Jabeau...It is a long time and you should be proud of yourself! Good for you! I wish you all the luck in the world - I quit too about 9 years ago and I'm happy I did so.

HAHA! Good Luck! For sure you can do it! Happy MyLotting!

=D GOOOD JOB ! congrats :) smoking is so bad for yourself, people around you, and the environment. props for quitting :) hahaha, yeah its really expensive too. I see no point whatsoever. so goooooood luck =D !

good luck... while you were trying to quit, here i am starting an old habit... it just has gotten too stressful these days here that thinking about smoking feels like freeing my mind of all the worries i have now. i think it was three weeks ago, that i started smoking again, and it did made me feel a little bit ok... as i see the smoke going up, floating in the air... inhaling it, the minty flavor of it... reminds me of my youth. i wasnt that a big smoker, and i stopped when i got into a relationship... here i am now, not to worry though, i have full control of myself, even if i itch for that 1 stick i can stop myself from going for it. i only smoke when i really really feel like smoking and when nobody is around the house... (guilty - hehehe), just to release some stress.

Another smoker here!! lolzzz.... I've tried quitting smoking for a few times but never seriously :P Good that its now over 6 hrs without cig...well done...and i hope you'll kelp doing this :) yeah....spending $ on cig is not good....moreover it kill us physically as well as mentally!!
