Good luck!!


I wish I could, I'm not having very good luck quitting. I quit 2yrs ago for about 7months, then came winter and a night of heavy drinking and I'm back to smoking. The wife and I bought our top gun 1 1/2 yrs ago, promised her when we bought it I would quit, even went as far as naming the boat "last pack"!!! It's going to be a good boat name when I actually do quit but right now it just kicks me in the balls when I look at it! Lol

I treat my former smoking habit as an addiction similar to drug or alcohol. I had relapse so many times in the past and finally realize that "just one" could never happen again. After 18 years, I still want one. Support is important so tell everyone that you know that you have stopped. I quit without any aids but use whatever works at any cost. Good luck. Buy yourself a cool reward for quitting. Doug

You can get E cig with no nicotine, might try that to ease the craving. Or, just take unemployment.......you get like 50 months i hear

What are you job hunting for? Health care field? My family is in HR in a pretty big firm in Toledo, I could at least get you a interview if needed.

FWIW Since I quit, my wife switched to e-cigs, (greensmoke on the lowest nicotine). Best friend also quit, if the people close to you see you succeed it inspires them to rethink their smoking also.

Pretty much a win-win except for the eating. Might as well decide to quit sugar and high fat at the same time. I gained a lot but have lost all but ten which I am working on. Would have been a lot easier to watch my total calories in the first place.

I have made it off chew for 6 - 8 months on multiple occasions and it never fails, I get hammered at some social outing, a buddy gives me a pinch, and the next day I am at the store buy a can...

CHIT SUCKS!!!

Not only did it work but I had really cool dreams from this stuff. Once dreamed I was blowing down the Kennedy expressway in a 39 cig, weaving in and out of traffic (cars). Blasted the Harlem ave overpass with a giant roost, paid my toll at O'Hare and opened it up going west on I90. Its been a year and o be honest if I could I would smoke. I like the entire ritual of lighting up, flicking the ashes, etc.


Good luck and try some Chantix

Chantix f'd my dreams up too...

One of my buddies had dreams of soap bubbles falling out of airplanes and exploding upon impact with anything..
