Great job Jim!!!!!!!!!!!!! With 30 years of smoking and really enjoying them I didn't fully commit to quitting but the doc gave me a prescription for a product called a "Nicotrol Inhaler", it contains 10 inhalers that last a long time, my wife only went through one but I chewed on mine from time to time so I went through 6. The inhaler comes apart and you put a small cartridge in and put the inhaler back together and it feels just like taking a drag of a smoke. The difference in it is that it isn't quite as enjoyable as a cigarette but you still get the nicotine. 2 years now off them, no weight gain and I don't miss them or crave them and unbelieveable I feel better and taste food better, things I thought people were just saying to make me quit but it is true. I have cancer that is in remission, I was so sick going through chemo thrapy but even that didn't make me quit, as soon as my chemo was done my wife would pick me up since it took 5 to 6 hours per session, and I'd have 2 smokes before I even got home, even the thought of dying couldnd't make me quit but this inhaler did. I'm telling you this because if you stumble or have a problem let me know, I'll give you all the information to give to the doctor and it is covered by most insurance. Good luck my friend!!!!!!!!!!

Update. It's now been two months and eleven days without a smoke. Probably put on about 10 lbs. Food is my addiction now. I still want one occasionally but sugarless gum helps a lot.

!!!!! :) :) :) !!!!! Keep it up.

Know what you mean about the food.... been a year an half for me now and put on 30lbs. :blush: Pretzels were my addiction for a while. Has smoothed out and stopped the gain now but just had to get it in my head that i was using one addictive substance to control thoughts of the other.

This ain't about me tho - so glad to hear you are done with the nasty butts. :icon14:
