I realize once I publish this that I will be committed to quitting smoking. I just got off the phone with my family practitioner. Dr. Kamath is going to call in some prescriptions to help with the quitting process. I smoked my last cigarette last night around midnight. I haven't felt this determined about quitting in years. I am also very excited, but realized the upcoming week is going to be tough. Very tough.

Wow - Andrew that is a huge committment and challenge. Will you be using the nicotine patch or one of the other medications like Varenicline? I hear they can be very successful. But you are so used to having something to do with your hands - I hope that you can get through this successfully but please don't be down on yourself if at the first attempt you can't.
Sir:
Out of curiosity, what brought about this effort? Is it only to quit cigarettes, or is pipe tobacco to be eliminated also?

Good for you!! Good luck!!
Best wishes for the coming week. If tempted, reach for the keyboard and tell us all about it.
Good luck with your endeavor. I quit when I was 23. Best move I ever made, but it was hard. I actually smoked a few times after quitting, but just went right back to not smoking and after a year, I couldn't stand to be around it at all. I am hoping you will do as well.
I wish you the best! We all know how much of a success you have been with your other addictions! Sure wish I had that kind of dedication.
Keep us posted - maybe if you can do it, I can too!

Yea you! You can do this....
:)
Best of Luck with this Andrew..keep us posted as to how you are getting on..and if you fall, just get right back up and start again...you have proved how dedicated you can be when you make your mind up.
Hmmmm...if you're going to do it, then maybe I should too.
my brother and father used chantrix or however it is spelled. i still have one brother and one sister who smoke. the rest have quit
Good luck with that. I give you 72 hours more max. Face it, you are weak.
Good for you! It's hard but if you can give up drinking you can give up smoking. I've done it and I know how difficult it is. On the other hand, because I've done it I know you can do it too. I used the Nicotine patch and it got me through the roughest of times. It'll be 10 years in Feb/2010 and I can hardly believe it'll be that long. Go for it, you can do it!
