Reply #9: Yes, you must remain vigilant [View All]

[Droopy]

The thought that helped me the most in the early going was the amount of money I was saving by quitting smoking. We're talking over $200 a month. I could buy a new car for that.

Then one day I went to the hospital to see my step-father who was having gall bladder trouble. His roommate was in the late stages of emphysema. I sat there as long as I could. I don't know how my step-father was taking it. Between the coughing and the hacking and the phlegm withdrawal, I couldn't handle being in the same room as the guy. That pretty much sealed the deal for me. I'm working on month number 8 now as a non-smoker. I smoked for 19 years. Wellbutrin helped me a great deal. It really knocks down the cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
