I got two months and it's still an addiction. I can smell them a mile away and I'm about a half second from bumbing a smoke sometimes..but I just remind myself how much time I have into it and that I would have to start all over again at day one. I think after a couple weeks it gets easier. not easy, but easier.
Stick with it!  |

Yes it does ..The cravings slowly get further and further apart. The cravings also slowly get weaker and weaker . I was a 3 pack a day smoker ,(luckys , pallmalls).. That was like 18 yrs. ago . They say 5 days your not physicly addicted anymore . I'd say the little annoying things ,dreams,enjoying the smell,,last a good year. I don't want to overwhelm anyone with that . Thats nothing like the first week you went thru ,, Easy time .. Now that 3 pack a day guy seems like someone eles. That guy (me)was a hard core junky . Don't start again . You'll be pissed at yourself later . Time to grow a pair and not wimp out to the tobacco industry .  |

Congrats Patrick .. Joining a gym is a good idea .. Getting in good shape makes less likely I'll poison myself .. I noticed a big difference working the beaches last year .. I actaully gained a few pounds at first joining a gym.. muscle is heavier than fat .. I'm going with it .. |

Tagger...I hear you on the muscle weighs more idea...I have been good and going at least 5 days per week and have only lost 7 pounds...I am doing good on the cutting down and eating healthy and do think I am "shifting" some fat to muscle...I would rather be leaning down and am doing mostly cardio at the gym...reisisting the use of supplements and I am not sure aobut them.

still at it. lost count now. coming up on 3 months.
Still on the wellbutrin maybe a pill every 3'rd day or so . or when I start getting pissed off at the world I'll "take a pill dude"
maybe up 10 pounds or so but that leveled off. |

3 years 4 months smoke free here. Keep it up fellas. It gets easier and you will feel better and live longer for it!  |

My wife's father & brother came to my house last sun for father's day.
My brother in law went out in my yard to have a few smokes.
He came back in ans STUNK out my house. 
I wanted to tell him to get the f### out of my house and go stink out your own house, but I don't think that would have gone over good with my wife. |
