Re: Need To Stop Smoking....

I stopped smoking after 30+ years. It took several attempts...Nicotine patch, Commit lozenge but neither worked. I then asked my Dr. for wellbutrin (sp) which is generic Zyban and started to taper back the number I smoked per day for the 1st week I was taking the pills. (I took one a day until the start of week 2 and then it was two a day.) When I started to taper back on cigs I went from a pack to 10 for a couple days,then 7 for a couple of days and finally down to 3 for a couple of days. I then quit all together. Believe me those 2 days where I could have 3 cigs was harder than not having any for some reason. I didn't use any nicotine replacement during that time because I didn't want to prolong any withdrawal I might have ( thats why I tapered down ). I went through a couple of days where my husband continued to smoke in the house and I was pretty b!tchy untill he started to smoke outside. I then got new carpet because I couldn't stand the smell in my house when my senses returned to normal. Smell especially is now really sensitive. Hubby still smokes in the garage and I have now been smoke free for a month. I cleaned my house from top to bottom the first few days I quit just so I could keep busy ( and also get the smell out)
Please hang in there and keep trying. If you really want to quit you will find a way and you will feel so much better afterwards. Don't give up if you fail a couple of times which is normal-just keep trying!

Good Luck!
