Congratulations on kicking the coffin nail habit, doll!

After twenty-six years of suffering through my own two-pack-a-day addiction, I finally quit for good and for all back on 07/01/02 -- a full fourteen years ago, in just another two weeks! -- thanks to the only thing that ever ended up working for me: the nicotine patch. When I think of all the dough I wasted on trudging up to the counter and paying for those two packs daily, all those years... *ack*. ;)

You'll feel so much better, for having done this! We're all PROUD of you, Onyx!!!

Thanks so much and thank very much for telling me you feel so much better. I finally started feeling short-winded and that's scary! That $10 per pkg was also a factor. I brought 5 pkgs with me and still have 1 remaining. (I always save 1 of everything ... LOL). I've been here since the 17 of May, so you see I didn't smoke very many daily anyway because I was cutting down. I have patches too, but I have not needed them. I bought the gum and patches together at the New Orleans CostCo last year. XOXOXO ((Ken))
