Work on both has stalled, due to a severe lack of funding. :icon_smile_blackeye:

5 days for me and Im loving it.

Cold Turkey & Im using the patch only...but also the nicotine gum for those strong cravings, but I havent had to use the gum yet. I have noticed that Im eating everything in the house and sleeping like a damn Sloth. I smoked Doral/ Marlboro full flavor for 10 years at a pack and a half a day.

I work for the UPS air district world hub in Louisville and they give us a benifit called "Free & Clear" that counsels us and gives us things like the patch and gum for free. Pretty bad ass antismoking program.  :coolgleamA:

Congratulations!  I've been smoke free for a year now as well.  I smoked about a a pack a day for 27 years and finally gave it up for my kids.  I've been alchohol free for 18 years.  Only bad habit I have left is my @#$(*!*%$#  mouth   :D

Chewing tobacco free for a year and a couple of weeks. It's a wonder I still have a job and was not sentenced to prison. I could pick it back up today like I never quit. I miss nicotine... A LOT!!!!

Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

Does being "cigarette free" mean you quit, or just too broke to buy them all this time?  :D
 

Congrats to you either way, I know from watching friends & family try that it isn't easy.  :cheers:

Great job to all of you.   :2thumbs:  Thank you, thank you.  As most of you know I work on elevators.  I am amazed how many hours are wasted as I watch people come down on the elevator, go outside while other employees are still working and chat and puff away.  Sometimes I see them right back no more than 15 minutes later, and this goes on all day.  What a waste of working hours, not to mention health issues, and wearing my elevator out.  :-\
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Right now, it's a bit of both.  Won't have any money for 2 more weeks, either.

I've tried to quit several times but didn't make it.
Mabey when I wake up in the middle of the night looking for an inhailer and spend all day coughing I'll try a little harder.

For me, being only a year smoke free, I still enjoy the smell of them  :smoke:
However, I think if I actually tried to smoke one, I would  :puke:
There are still times even now that I would love to have one, but so far I've never given in to the urge.  It gets easier the more time passes.
