You also need to quit for your health. My Dad had emphysema and it was so scary when he had an attack and couldn't breathe. When he was first diagnosed with it he was told to quit smoking and he would be a lot better but he just couldn't give them up. Believe me I begged and begged.

You're right, it will be a GREAT gift for Micah!!!!

I am Diana, i need to quit for Me and Micah, God i can't even push him around in the stroller anymore without being out of breath... i'm glad Mike is quiting with me and my girlfriend Loree, and my mother, my mother is the one that needs to quit the woman has a pace-maker and she is still smoking, i can't even remember how many stokes and heart-attacks she also had...

With all of you quitting together you'll have a nice support group together. It will be hard but you are always so determined to get things accomplished that I have faith that you can do this too!!! I'll be praying for you, Mike, and your group.

I wish you the best Haley!!! It will be 2 years in August that I quit those awful things. My husband did it using the Chantix, I tried using them, but they made me very sick to my stomach. So I had some Equate patches left from another time I tried to quit and used two of them and I was done.

You will need to change how you do things and that will help. For instance...I used to put makeup on at my makeup table...I changed to putting it on in the bathroom. Now I'm back at the table, but don't feel the need for a smoke. If you were used to smoking right after a meal...go for a walk. Just change your 'smoking' routine. It really will help. I also keep the white Tic Tacs on hand.

Even after all this time...I still feel that urge once in a great while...but I just go do something else. It leaves my mind as quick as it came. I'll never smoke again. I hope you are able to stick with it....I promise you won't ever regret it.

Thanks Janet, yep my insurance will pay for the Chantix, so i'm going to take advantage of that one while i still have my insurance, i just don't like the side effect, but that is a good one making my stomach sick, i'm not going to eat as much..

i gained alot of weight the last time i quit and i'm not going to do it this time, even if i have to get diet pills i will!!!!

ps, one good thing is we don't smoke in the house cause of Micah, but i'm allowed to smoke at work, everyone smokes here, that is going to be hard coming to work and not smoking, but i will get use to it, i'll just keep thinking that were saving 5,000 a year on cig.s
