Thanks to all that have posted - Smoking Cessation Message Board

I just wanted to say thanks to everybody that has posted about quitting. Because of this forum I went out and got a prescription for Chantix. Over the last few weeks, I think that I read every post on here for encouragement. I am now on my second nicotine free day.
I have been a chewer by day and smoker by night for 20 years. You name it, cold turkey, patches, pills, hypnosis, I've tried them all. I went 2 months once.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have even started fights with my wife when I tried to quit so that I could blame her for my failing(to myself). This time I'm trying something different even though it may be a real shocker for my system. For about three weeks now I've been on the South Beach diet, quit drinking beer and as of yesterday I'm nicotine free. I've learned that for me, I can't quit smoking with my beloved Miller Light in my hand. Sorry for being so long winded. Regards, Tom
