    Ok, so I have smoked my last cigarette. So far so good. I ate dinner and had my coffee. All is well.
    Any good tips to keep me sane?

    Whatever you do don't start again! Ha ha. Find something that will get you through your stressful moments to avoid going back. I found running to be a stress reliever.

    This is bomb.... Works great, costs a ton less and is not bad for you at all. Best of all it isn't smoke, just water vapor. You can "smoke" it anywhere! Your car and clothes don't stink either...

    Congrats to you. The fact that you don't want to is what will help you get through it.

    I recommend you find things to distract you. I helped my nanny get out of her habits my doing a new (or well liked) activity with her each day. If she had a smoke that day then upon asking her I would know (I'm a lie detector, and obvious guilt forms..), and the activity wouldn't occur. If she didn't smoke then we did the activity.

    The activities were things like card games, trips to general amusement areas (some things would require a few days in a row to 'afford'). Essentially her not smoking made up 'smoking credits' and she saw the greater positive in the one side (away from smoking)

    I'm trying too, but as Mark Twain said, quitting's easy, I've done it hundreds of times - or something like that, . I have tried about everything, so recently I have tried limiting where I can smoke. I will no longer smoke at work - a place I smoked the most. So far so good - it's been a week. I have never smoked at home, so I'm down to just a few a day. I think in a few weeks, I'll be able to stop completely.

    How do you expect us doctors to make any money if you people keep quitting smoking? Jeez.. it's an economic downturn... and everywhere I look there's less lung, bladder, kidney and throat cancer... sheesh. So much less pneumonia, asthma and other pulmonary diseases...

    It hurts, I tell ya. A world without all the sickness that smoking brings is....

    Beautiful.

    Keep up the good work!

    Statistics show that if you have support from a partner, a program (like a counselor) a product (like chantix or gum/patches) .. you double your chance of success... that's about the only tip I got.

    Congratulations!!! I quit smoking exactly 2 weeks ago and it's been relatively easy. Mainly due to the WhyQuit - the Internet's leading cold turkey quit smoking resource website. It gives you KNOWLEDGE and information to know about your quit, which withdrawal symptoms will occur and when, how to fight craves, and message boards with advice and support from fellow quitters and ex-smokers.

    whyquit.com

    P.S. - personally, my head ached and was in a fog for the first two days. Also, my sleep pattern has been jolted but it's returning to normal.

    it's been 2 weeks since i stopped smoking...cold turkey... my doctor told me that the hardest part is when you first quit, because i guess the nicotine stays in your system for 72 hours? so the hardest part are those 72 hours...
