I'm still on NRT at 88 days because quitting it was reviving emotional problems, my doc's advice: you smoked for 36 years, I'd much rather you on NRT. Whatever happens with the NRT I know i won't go back to smoking not one puff ever. til i die. I've gotten to four months before,a lso using nrt . something that's doing wonders for me is a little stop smoking in 3 minutes hypnosis clip i found on youtube. i was in a ward with a woamn with emphysema, i saw a documentary of a woman who couldn't quit into the terminal stages of emphysema...of course she feared quitting more than dying, but she had to quit anyway once the tubes went down her throat. A friend described his uncles death, lungs filling up with liquid and getting vacuumed out every half hour.I know i won't do that to myself. The nrt has given me the breather to change my thinking from smoke-treat to smoke-choke. I'm one of the small percent -10% who become long term users of nrt. i've accepted it. i'll shop around for the right help to quit nrt when things are on an even keel in my life. whatever gets us through, not one more cent to the cynical ruthless tobacco baron's. we are their nightmare, I'm helping my greengrocer quit, our quits inspire quits
love and hugs to all the marvellous generous quitters here at SCC
