I smoked my last cigarette on January 31, 2007 at 9:20pm. It has been 8 days. It certainly hasn't been easy, but i am going strong. I would love some support or some ideas for the cravings. I am taking Wellbutrin and I am on a nicotine patch also. I don't think I could have done it without the help of them. Would love to hear other stories of people that have quit. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Try these sites: www.quitsmokingonline.com www.quitnet.com Both are fantastic and were invaluable to me when I quit. The first is an e-book which you can download for free. It addresses the cognitive-behavioural aspects of quitting (you already have the physical aspects covered with the wellbutrin and the nicotine patch). The second is a support forum with many great success stories and all of the support you could need. Good Luck! Stick with it. This is the best thing that you can do for yourself!

Good for you Pur!!! Congratulations you are well on your way to feeling so much better!! I went through that when I quit smoking and my saving grace was celery with either peanut butter or cheese whiz!!

That's a great feat. I am trying to quit smoking myself. Sometimes mints help. But I think it's about willpower and making yourself busy that will help you quit that vice.
