For those of you who are ex smokers, how did you quit?

congrats to all my fellow x-smokers! i'm new to the not smoking sections, but so far so good! i just woke up and decided that getting banded was more important to me than smoking (my doc requires 3 mos. of nicotine free pre surgery)...a week after i quit i went to the doc-he suggested wellbutrin which i think has helped! you're supposed to start taking it before you quit, but i didn't want to wait for my doctor appointment, so i just quit cold turkey till i made it to see him! i am doing great-it's just a little weird not lighting up with my classmates....but i love it! kudos to the odd man out!!!

Good Job to all the non-smokers! Wootsie, I'm sorry that others are smoking around you. It's gotta be twice as hard when those circumstances exist. I'm not sure I could have done that. I quit my bowling team this season, just because I knew I needed to quit smoking. Bowling, drinking beer and smoking all go together! I just couldn't put myself in that situation.

You CAN do this!

hey guys, good luck to all of you. Wed. is my quit date. I started Chantix last Wed. I have been smoking since I was 17 and that was a long time ago. It is so dumb of me to get all this weight off and still damage my bod

with cigs. I need all the support I can get and I will give the same. Kathy I am proud of you.

Ok everyone,

I'm still smoke free and I'm on day 5 now. You do know that after a week it's all mental don't you? That's what they say, but you sure couldn't prove it by me. I'm still using the Wellbutrin and Patches together, and I think that's helping a lot. I'm very DETERMINED this time. I have to do this for myself, not for anyone else. Good luck to everyone on remaining smoke free!
