Yep! I did. From the time I was 14 until I was 28. Marlboro Reds. I liked it, too. Especially with coffee… :rolleyes: I quit cold turkey. Besides Kung Fu training, it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. -C ---

Pqs what is WT (I’m guessing weight training or wing tsun)? I’m still on nicotene replacement ( the lozenges) but I’m using much much less of it than is suggested by the company. Tonight around 10:00 will be two weeks. I’m finished also!!! I’ve been tempted, last night I even had a dream that I smoked in, but no big deal I can get through it!! Hey keep up the good work:D ---

Bodhitree WT = Wing Tsun how do you find the lozenges? I didn’t want to use a nicotene replacement as I have failed with that before, but not doing to bad at the moment. Northern Practioner yes that is hard but look on the bright side by not smoking you can afford to drink more Regards Peter ---

> you can afford to drink more True… My problem is the occasional, then I go through a week, then quit, then a month later I have one, then none for a few weeks, then I’ll have a couple, and go through this cycle… The cycle is getting closer to coming to an end though… ---

PQS the lozenges are at any drugstore, I failed once with the patch also, however I didn’t use it as directed. Northern Maybe dont drink or go to the club for a month or two after you quit, build a foundation! I got a buddy that does the same thing going a couple weeks or months then going back. everytime he drinks he ends up smoking. I don’t have to deal with that because I don’t drink, but I did give up the coffee for about 10 days. Today is 15 days, the longest I ever got before (without incarceration) was about 49 hours! If I can do it, Y’all definatly can. Best of luck, you can do it! ---
