Greer..I gave in yesterday after over three bloody weeks 
I bummed one off of a friend so at least I don't feel like I've got to finish a whole pack. I didn't even particularly enjoy it, felt too guilty.
Oh well, new day, new start.

Hey, I only read the first couple of posts so I'm not sure how or what everyone is doing, but I tried to quit smoking for years. I did it cold turkey. I did it using patches. I even did it by taking small tokes of pot in place of a cigarette (yay Colorado!). I would succeed and then something would trigger me, usually a high stress event, and I would fall off the wagon.
In February, I quit for what I hope is forever. I did it by vaping, not an e-cigarette but an actual vaping device with e-juice that had some light nicotine in it. Then I gradually moved to no nicotine. I think it worked because it felt so much like smoking and the "smoke" was much more satisfying than wimpy e-cigarette. I also enjoyed the delicious flavors much more than the taste of smoke.
I don't use the vape device much anymore and I don't want to smoke another cigarette ever. All the flack and criticism that vaping and e-cigarettes have received over the years is quite unfair, because without these options, I may not have quit. So I am grateful for them.
I hope my story helps someone.

I asked my daughter for a cig quietly when she visited but she told my wife on me, did I catch hell. 4 weeks is a great feat try not to falter now you'll just have to suffer all over again. i'm sure you're starting to feel a little better by now please keep up the good work even though it's difficult and you are an example to others

How are you all doing?
Apart from the one ciggie a couple of weeks ago (which I'm choosing to ignore!) I'm five weeks in. Haven't used any nicotine lozenges this week.
Feeling pretty darn good about it

I slipped up and was smoking for a while again. I suck. But I haven't had one in 4 days as of today. Went for a little run this morning and was a bit easier. I really want my cardio back

There was a man on the TV this week who was trying to lose over half his weight. He did just that - went to all the takeaway places, shops and cafes where he bought all his junk food and gave them his photo, telling them to throw him out 
His first week he lost 13lbs :eek:
You'll get there. Just keep doing your best and that is always good enough.
