Forgot all about that, Tasha. Yeah, LL check your supplementary insurance coverage (if you have any). Mine covered up to $1,000 per lifetime for smoking aids. Unfortunately, by the time I bought the patch, they only covered 2 weeks worth, then I was cut off. All that Zyban that didn't work.LOL

Don't forget to ask for Wellbutrin instead of Zyban. There's no cutoff (that I'm aware of anyway lol) on anti-depressants.

There is with Manitoba Health, Tasha, but my secondary health plan is still covering it - so far.

Zyban didn't work for me, lol. And I had to pay for it out of pocket. Get the patch, get nicotine gum, get nicotine lozenges! Pencils, straws, licorice - whatever you need to do to stop yourself from lighting a DEATH STICK up.

LOL, Halfunit. On a more serious note, y'all know we DID have a person here in this very thread who died before she could manage to kick the habit ... Daisymae. She had some other problems too, and just generally left things too late in life to be cured. But, you know, it's a fine line all of us walk ... Yay Dipo!! Yay LL!! You go, girls!

Patch is so much easier, I knew if I didn't get something I was going to give in. Whew, I think I can do this now. I am still not coming on the computer much cause this is where I did my most smoking and it is a trigger. Love you all and thanks for the support.

Lol Juju, it is so nice to have that first week behind me. My dh and children are certainly celebrating. Yesterday was a breeze, the only time I even thought about it was to realize I wasn't craving a cigarette. Thanks for all the support.

There is no shame in using an alternate nicotine delivery system. The ONLY thing that matters is getting yourself free from the killer however you have to do it. I figured if you made it most of that first excruciating week and THEN got on the patch that things would probably smooth right out for you. Yay LL!!!

Dipo, I dreamt a lot about buying cigarettes and smoking cigarettes during the first six months or so when I quit last year. Not so much now except a random one here and there. So real though. Keep up the great work!

I had smoking dreams too. I think it's pretty common. They are so dang vivid that it's scary. One time, I woke up and had to sniff my hands to make sure I didn't smoke a cigarette. Good job EVERYONE !!!

YW, Dipo and you can count me in with those having the fallen off the wagon kinda dreams. The relief upon waking up and realising that I hadn't done the deed was enormous. Can't remember now when I had the last one.

2 weeks now. I am just starting to smell the real stinch that comes of smokers now.Gross, but it is so darn easy to forget once you start smoking. Congrats Dipo, we will do this together. If I am gonna dream about smoking it isn't gonna be about tobacco. lol

70's but samething. lol Doing good, everyonce in awhile I will catch myself thinking "oh I must get a smoke", but the urge passes pretty quick. I think it is only natural, I don't think about them all day like I did the first few days. This old patch is doing the job.
