Today was the day. I slapped on a nicotine patch when I woke up today. We just went through a blizzard and are snowed in. That made it difficult for me - cabin fever + not smoking = craZy!! So I did smoke 3 or 4 cigarettes, but that's a huge improvement for me.
I'm feeling good about quitting. I'm thinking a lot about the freedoms I will gain. And I noticed that I didn't cough once today. I've been coughing for weeks from a respiratory infection in late Dec. It's nice that I already have that tangible thing to encourage me to keep going.

Trying Again
My only post on this blog was last August when I was thinking about quitting. I did try to quit in September. For a couple of weeks.
But I'm ready to try again. I am going to quit on Feb 1st. I am mentally gearing up and I'm taking zyban. Surprisingly it is actually helping the craving. I've been smoking a little less already. In Sept. I took Chantix. It had no affect on me at all. A big waste of $125!
So, I'm back here and I want to log as I go through quitting this time. Not only for my own help, but maybe it can help someone else, too.
