[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3712146, member: 7900"] I smoked for 41 years, with about 20 each for cigarettes (Kool menthol) and a pipe with no filters. I quit back in 2003. The wife and my doctor ganged up on me when I went in for my annual physical. (Never go to an annual physical if one's wife is on vacation at the same time.) I was prescribed Welbutrin and told to pick a quit date about 2 or 3 weeks ahead. Wife and I also looked at the Farmer's Almanac to see when the astrological signs would be right. That turned out to be a Saturday. During that 2 or 3 weeks, I did change my smoking habits by changing how long I went before having another smoke. The day came and I got up and smoked the pipe one last time at about 7:00 am. Then the wife, our two sons, and I went out to just goof around in Oklahoma City without me taking my pipe and tobacco. Around 9:00 pm, I was REALLY craving the pipe, and the next morning, I told her that she was going to have to drive to church because I couldn't concentrate on anything for much more than about 10 seconds or so. After evening church services, I sat down to the computer to do nonsense stuff just to have something to do. Around 9:00 pm Sunday night, I suddenly realized that I hadn't had a major craving for the pipe, so I was over the craving in about 36 hours. I still had an occasional craving for the pipe, especially so when I went in for cataract surgery and knew that they were going to be messing with my eyes. I'd have given one of my limbs at that time for the pipe. All that said, it may take a bit of planning and support from family and friends, but this CAN BE DONE!!! [/QUOTE]
