I am going to do this, I think! Way to start out positive, huh?
All right, enough procrastinating...I am going to DO THIS!!
Wish me luck! I am buying the patch tomorrow for Thursday.

Michelle- good for you! I know this is something you've wanted (and tried) to do....so best wishes to you! Do you have a "plan" for those (what will be "old") need to have one times?


Good Luck~

Good luck ! Get yourself a bunch of apples. They helped me when the cravings hit.

Good for you - quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. My dad used lollipops to help him quit. The nicotine addiction is out of your system in just a few days but because the hand habit is so hard to quit he walked around holding suckers like cigarettes. It also gave him something to put in his mouth that did not have a lot of calories.

Thanks, everyone, for the positive vibes! I feel very confident and secure having read your posts. I stopped on teh way home from the gym yesterday to buy the patch and YIKES!! is it expensive. I will use the patch for this decision. For two reasons. First, it really helped me about 7 years ago and second, if I cheat, it makes me horribly sick to my stomach.
Thanks for the apple and lollipop ideas. I know that hand to mouth habit is very hard to break. That will probably keep my from eating the ends of my pens off...LOL! Thanks for the tips!

ps Steffy, I know right where that is. Dh and I recently (New Year's Eve) went there to the Buffalo Rose for a Firefall concert. She will know about that. Cute place and great show! I put your link in my faves, just in case. Thanks for the info!
