    No More Butts...The Beginning..

    keep up the good work you lot, forget the slips. i am so proud of you taking on this mammoth challenge whilst battling against al. i gave up 10 years ago and it was the best thing i ever did, until now and ridding myself of al of course!:goodjob:

              Has anyone out there had any luck with Commit lozenges? I just got a bunch of bottles for free & thought I give it a go. Curious about negative reactions, side effects, but mostly effectiveness in helping stay smoke free. Appreciate comments and thoughts!?!

                I personally don't have any knowledge about Commit lozenges, but I'm sure that there are some people here that probably know about them & can give you some advice.

                What I do know is.... patches, gum, lozenges & pills are only AIDS to help people quit smoking.... none of these will keep you smoke free... that's where your own personal determination & commitment to nothing less than success comes into play.

                  Thank you so much fallenangel. I am determined, but have been through serveral self determined failures. Thought the lozenges might help me breakthrough this time. Like you say, there are probaby some that have had experience w/ commit and will probably post. Thanks again!

                    IMO, we need to look at our addiction as an enity all of its own. When we can do this, then we can direct our battle towards our foe, and not feel like we're fighting ourselves.
                    Besides.... that's where the fun can come into play!

                    This is where we can stretch our imaginations, and like I said... have some fun with your quit!
                    I imagined my nicodemon with 3 different personas...
                    the first one was a gremlin type thing... foul & disgusting. When it appeared to me in this form, it usually wasn't hard to say no to giving into a craving.... I saw it for what it really was, and there was nothing it could say or do that made me want to be in its company anymore. I could kick this nasty one to the curb everytime... and quite frankly, enjoyed kicking his ugly butt! :H
                    The second one was a bratty little girl (with long red braids) that threw temper tantrums when she wanted her pacifier. Her whining drove me up the wall, and I'd send her to her room with a big pout on her face because she wasn't going to get her way.

                    The third was the most sinister of all.... and I had to keep my guard up 24/7 for this one.
                    It would take on my image... and would whisper softly in my ear with my own voice... making promises of how she could make this all better. Crafty & sly this one was. But I soon learned how to distinguish her from my own inner voice... it was quite simple really.... I looked beyond the voice...and what I heard was only lies.
                    I wish I could have sent this one far, far away... but she took up permanent residence. She's seem to have gone into hibernation for the most part, but occasionally she awakes from her slumber... and so, to this day, I remain vigilant and on my guard.

                      30 yrs nicotine free now. I do remember when I finally stopped.I tried 5 or 6 times before I realized something important and I used this strategy and ONE! I didn't use losengers,patches but would use them now if I had to,any weapon to kick the habit is worth a go! I simply looked back and thought how I became hooked, 1 cig a day,then 2, then 3 and before long a packet. So, crazy as it seems I went off them the same way.Took a lot of discipline and I had to put in place strategies like keeping away from smokers,(lost all my friends for a while). Purposely leaving cigs at home and all that kind of stuff.Worked for me. Good Luck and just keep on TRYING is so much worth it! Wish I could give up booze the same way but still struggle.:goodjob:

                        WOW!!! FA, this is amazing. I am going to to adopt it for myself...you have a wonderful way with words and a great way of making people feel motivated...I think you should write your own quit smoking book!! I would buy it for sure!

                            Ok, today is the 19 of may and i will jump onto this wagon once i'm finished the box i have in my pocket. I've been smokin for 19 years and i've tried to quit a million times. It's much harder than quittin alcohol. It's harder to quit than heroin apparently. So i hope i can do it. I really want to stop. Maybe God will give me the strength for this as he as for my quitting drinkin. But the smokin thing for me is tough. I go crazy just thinkin about it. My heart pounds, my breathin gets tight, my whole body feels like it's goin to stop workin even when i just think about quittin smoking. I hav ten smokes or so left. So after that i'll give it a bash. Shweet
