Having your first cup of coffee while you're already at work, not at home with a cigarette, is also your friend. <br /><br />I quit last summer with the help of a tobacco cessation LPN. That's not all she does, but she's very well educated on the subject. She kept me on the patch for 12 weeks, and it worked. It's been almost a year.Rynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-88121471070372304092010-06-07T11:23:53.310-04:002010-06-07T11:23:53.310-04:00Way to go, Mary!!!Way to go, Mary!!!myoclonicjerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144725426127851940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-86037062173862889592010-06-05T01:27:16.191-04:002010-06-05T01:27:16.191-04:00I was in a class where they had a person come in a...I was in a class where they had a person come in and talk about quiting smoking, and she informed us that withdrawals from tobacco only lasts 72 hours, I can barely get past a half a day, but I'm trying, so I know how she feels.

Even if it doesn't work this time, the next time will improve her chances. Use EVERY crutch at your disposal. I used patches and occasionally chewed nicotine gum during the first weeks. This is turning into such a smoke free world and that does make it easier. It's an awful process but it does get better. Eventually.
