meeeeeeeI'm on the fake-o now, haven't had an analog one since saturday (ok.. i took a hit yesterday too). I realize I'm not actually quitting nicotine, but baby steps, aye?

I am going for it. I am attempting cold turkey, straight up.

I've just done 12 weeks on the patches. I'm with you.

Hopefully I will move on to more productive things like baking bread again or doing actual uni work. I've begun reading for pleasure mind, which is very nice.I had 2 puff today and wasn't interested. This is progress.Bearing all this in mind however, I will not be leaving the house all weekend. Hallo-what?Glad of the support!My Mrs started doing origami to keep busy and has gone through about three bags of dum-dums since quitting. Good luck all!

I should probably quit, my lungs hurt all the time now.I've had a cold for three weeks, occasionally I've been coughing up blood.My health is so poor right now it is somewhat hilarious.Except for being incredibly painful I mean.

I highly recommend The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Alan Carrhttp://www.amazon.com/Easy-Way-Stop-Smoking-Non-Smokers/dp/1402718616It's not new-agey or self-help bullshit. Just explains why people smoke, why those reasons are crap, and gets you in the right frame of mind to quit. Worked well for me after 10 years of pack-a-day smoking.Good luck, y'all.
