Quitting smoking again for the first time....

[LaurenG]

6. You can do this.

I was a smoker who quit in the 80's and then I went through an excruciating divorce that included moving to Colorado and getting a job -new life to place to live, new everything and I started smoking after work. Since I was in health care I tried to just use the gum but I would still smoke the odd cigarette. Mostly in the morning and again after work. I quit smoking the occasional cigarette 2 years ago in May bit I still chewed the gum. I gave that up last September, cold turkey (too expensive). I loved smoking and I loved nicotine gum if they weren't so damn bad for us I'd probably mainline it (just kidding) but you get my drift. I adored nicotine, it truly was my drug of choice but I quit after more than 15 years and it really wasn't that bad. I did gain some weight but I'm working to take it off now.

You have my best wishes for success, I know you can do this.
