Hang in there living4Jc. You are in my prayers, I used the patch and it sure seemed to help with the urges. I would still get them but instead of a long lasting urge every couple of minutes untill I would give in, the patch help reduce the urges plus they were not so intense and long lasting, in most cases after 4-5 seconds they would be gone. Today is day 31 for me with no cigs-

Believe it or not the way I quit was unusal in the fact I first picked a day of the week I could smoke. That was Mondays. I could always look forward to Mondays, ha a switch. Anyways I smoked on Mondays for about two months then I just quit.
I will pray for you.

Today is my 26th day of not smoking!!! :yeah
I quit last month on the 25th and haven't even taken a puff of a cigarette. I'm quitting by the help and grace of God because I loved them too much to ever be able to just quit on my own. :tsk
I smoked for approximately 35 years. I started smoking when I was VERY young (around 8 or 9). I will be 44 this year. I smoked about a pack and a half a day. Praise God!!! :yeah

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/light4mypath/newsmilies/pray2.gifing for everyones success. I smoke too. I have tried several times to quit, but have failed. :ohno I have prayed and prayed on this, and I still fall flat on my face. I have been under MAJOR stress the last 2 years, and while that is no excuse, smoking has helped calm my nerves...
I hope to be where ya'all are one day.
Maybe if I hang out in here it'll rub off.......:yay

Light4mypath, I will be blunt with you, if you have been praying about it then deep down inside you must be wanting to get rid of this habit. You proably wonder what it is like to take in a deep breath and not cough or what it is like to be able to go to church and not wonder if you smell like smoke. Or maybe you feel like it is keeping you from having a true walk with GOD. I say these things becuase it is how I felt. I have got to tell you that I prayed and I prayed GOD would take this from me. And I know it is only by his grace. I will pray for you just as I know that people were praying for me. I remember how inspiring it was for me to read this same thread on the old board and to know that there was others just like me struggling with the same issue, but also knowing that GOD had given many of them grace over it- just like I belive he will give you grace over it!
