Well I got my script and I decided to start today....I have been smoking for about 10 yrs now ( I will be 35 in April)....and I am really nervous about stopping, I guess because if I come face to face with a stressful situation...I want a cig. So that is going to be the hardest part for me......Some people think that doing this is so easy, and for some people it is easy to quit, but for others it has become a normal way of life. I have done it cold turkey in the past and become the (as my kids call me) the DRAGON LADY FROM HELL...lol but maybe wellbutrin will help, at least take some of the edge off. Well congrats on all that have quit....you have proved yourself to be strong, you deserve a medal of honor for that. And to thoses that are just starting...I am right there with you, it will be a rocky road, and some may stumble and fall but thats what we are here for, is to help you up, dust you off and put you back in line to that longer and better, healther way of life. Keep your head up, keep focused and you can do it. YOU CAN DO IT ....... :)

Congratulations on deciding to quit the evil cigarettes. You have made a smart and life giving decision that you will not regret. I almost have 6 months, next week. Can't believe it, all while dealing with a health problem too. I surprised myself, (again) as I have quit many, many times. (smoked 30 yrs, quit about 10 x) I feel so much better being a non smoker than a smoker. No more sore throats, clearing gunk out of my throat, wheezing, eyes watering, burning things, wasting $4.50 a day, being afraid I'll die young, etc, etc, etc. I always worried about my kids too when they were young. Now they are grown, and I want to live to see some grandchildren someday! :)
Yes, it's not easy, but knowing you're going to die or being Dx'd with lung or mouth cancer would be harder, :eek: wouldn't it? You'll also be setting a wonderful example to your kids, as you don't want to see them smoking when they grow up either, right?
Good luck, and do post again and let us know how you are doing.
