Tom, You are doing great! Don't put so much pressure on yourself...you'll drive yourself to smoke! LOL! Just take it one day at a time...think about each one before you light it and if you decide you absolutely HAVE to smoke it then...do it! You'll find that you can go longer and longer without problems...when you finally stop it will be no sweat! Congratulations on taking the journey! Ann

Good Luck, Tom! I know it's not easy but nothing worth having ever is! You CAN do it!

Hi Tom, I was a smoker for 15 yrs (2 pks a day) and thought I would never quit. I participated in a smoking study and was given zyban which really helped alot. I quit after being on it for 2 weeks, and had no craving for cigarettes. I haven't smoked in almost 3 months. It also helped me to lose the required weight for Dr. Aranow as it also curbed my appetite as well. Good luck!

Hi Tom I know it is not easy to stop smoking but it is good time to practice to stop smoking. I am sure Dr Aranow will send you to go smoking study to stop smoke after your appointment with him this Oct. Hope to see you again this monday at support group meeting kathy K

You'll do it Tom, don't fret. baby steps, and that way you won't get discouraged. We're here for ya! -Deb

You are doing great! Hang in there! The patch helped my hubby thru the first few weeks incredibly. ;) Helped him with the shakes, etc. Good luck!!!
