I am using the gum and it seems to be helping.

I quit sometime last month; I think July 26 for my wedding, but I'm not sure. I try not to count the days.

Watching Mad Men can get aggravating.

One week in. My third attempt. The wife and I are trying for a child this time so hopefully that will help. I know we can do it, just needed a better reason I guess. I feel your pain. Truth be told, I'd way rather take an hour and a half three times a week enjoying a good cigar than having cigarettes whenever I wanted. At this point I'm pissed off that "cigar" is the root-word of "cigarette". It's like blasphemy.

Is this your first child you are trying for?

I managed to drop the cigarettes after almost 15yrs of smoking not all too long ago. The trick is not to take it too seriously. I used snus for the first couple of weeks to tame the nicotine beast. And I made it the first few weeks without a single cig. Since then I have had like 3.... Just on a rare occasion socially. I don't really like them at all. Cigars are so much more enjoyable and fulfilling now as well.

Day four!

htown · 08-13-2010, 08:30 AM

Day six and it is getting easier.

Kreth · 09-02-2010, 07:02 AM

On week three....me and the wife...getting much easier. Probably easier for me since I get my daily cigar

Keep on going everyone, consider the cigs a drug if you smoke one you never know what the result may be. Could cause a brain hemorrhage, stroke , heart attack or nothing. It is just not worth the risk.You can always have one tomorrow

kugie · 09-02-2010, 01:41 PM

Still doing great
Smoke free since 12/18/09

Starscream · 09-02-2010, 11:39 AM

I started smoking again since my last post in here, but am once again cigarette free. Been clean for three weeks this time around.

You can do it, Andy!
One of my favorite things about quitting cigs (aside from the obvious health benefits) is how much more flavorful my cigars are, now that my taste buds aren't fried. Even the milder stuff is pretty tasty now, where before I was mainly smoking the full-strength sticks as those were the only ones that had good flavors to me. 5 Vegas Gold still tastes like sucking on a straw though.

It's not as tough as you may think to quit. Just concentrate on how much better you can breathe, how much better food tastes, etc. I know; I used to be a 2 to 3 pack a day smoker in the 1990's.

htown · 12-13-2010, 03:00 PM

Trying again Day Three!!!
