Started the big Q today

"Two plus months smoke free here.. I'm using Welbutrin to help and it really does work. My Maintenance Supervisor used the new stuff out called Chantex and it worked really well for him."

Wifey's on Chantex. She doesn't like it because of the mood shift but she's sticking with it. She's already scaled down from Reds to Lights so that's a help. She has a job with stress from 1134 so that's not helping.

I'd shifted from snuff to pouches so that's a step in the right direction too. I know I have absolutely no will power so have already experienced the excuse routine in the past. Right now I'm on the patch while at work but the 2 hour commute home is the killer.

"I want to quit but at the same time, I strangely enjoy it."

I can relate to that. I know it's a disgusting habit - maybe I just enjoy being disgusting.

Going on 7 years here. I smoked for about 18 and was a pack to a pack and a half a day guy. I quit cold turkey and have never looked back. No urges or "just this once" excuses. Actually smoking repulses me. I guess I'm the stereotypical EX-smoker now.

When it's your time to quit, you'll know it.
