Sunday 2 wks ago I had to have the 911 folks over for a visit, my mother-in-law who lives with us had to be rushed to the emergency room with advanced ??????????????? -- emphysema.
She now has to be connected to an oxygen generator semi permanent, besides the enormous expense and the suffering she has had to endure, it has taken its toll on the rest of the family who are looking on.
I managed to quit Jan' 05 on a new years resolution without all the add on's.
When my wife witnessed her mothers suffering she quit the next day, with the aid of the add on's.
Till today she is smoke free and so am I, The main reason for success in this field is the correct motivation, like being at the bottom of a steep hill climb, you can see and imagine the obstacles --
Go for it, and if not the first time, make some changes to the point of attack and go AGAIN.
Good luck, the power of the mind is an incredible thing!!

Sorry about your Mother-inlaw, hope it all works out..
As for the patches or nicoret gum, i look at it like this, you know when you have your suspension revalved for your riding style, you dont really need it too ride, but it sure makes it a whole lot easier..

I've watched this thread for weeks now. I've been envious of those of you who have quit and succeeded. I've been smoking for 13 yrs and tried quitting once before. There are so many reasons why I'm tired of being a smoker and I keep reminding myself of them every minute of the day. TODAY is the day for me to say enough.
Way to go Chris! I had smoked for over 35 years. Now I have been smoke free since Jan.1. Used my last nicotine patch last Friday,so now I am totally nicotine free. If I can do it ,you can too. If you need any help, I am just up the road in Belton. Good luck guy!

Thanks guys. Today is only the first day, but I'm looking forward to counting them all. It was a rewarding moment just to post in this thread because I really did want to be one of "you". :) I'm on the patch right now, and I'm more worried about the physical addiction I've had more than the mental side. I'll keep everyone posted, as I want to succeed. Just brainstorming but I wonder if Okie would be interested in setting up an "ex smoker" forum or something? A DRN support group for those of us who are working on breaking the habit. Just a thought...
