Thanks, Rosa~
September 2, 2009 - 5:21pmIf you read my comment down below, you'll see that my 'quit' experience was somewhat unusual, but may I suggest NICA to you and your husband? I am attending meetings now and find them helpful.
It is Nicotine Anonymous and is a twelve-step program of recovery from the smoking habit. I haven't read too much of the literature yet, but there are pamphlets available and books for purchase.
I hope that your husband truly wants to quit smoking, that is one thing that will be invaluable to his taking the necessary steps, which ever way he chooses to quit.
Your love and support will help immeasurably!
Thanks, Rosa~

Hello Laurel and welcome to EmpowHer!
I am so proud of you! To successfully quit smoking, especially after such a long period of time, is just amazing! Way to go! I would love to know more about the process that you used and what worked for you. You are so right that just sticking with it day by day and sometimes minute by minute will get you through the rough spots.
Please post again and share more of your story with us. I just know you will help so many women who are currently struggling with quitting. And I have to ask--does food taste better already? Big hugs to you Laurel, Michelle

Well, Michelle, I hope your reach is large because food tastes so good I am becoming known as a substantial hug! Just teasing, but yes, food is better, flowers smell incredible and my house needs help in the stinky department!
September 2, 2009 - 5:10pmI hope I didn't go on too long in the wrong place on the site, I wrote far more than a 'comment' I'm afraid...Thanks for asking me though, I do love to share this success, next I will probably tell of my battle/victory over alcohol LAST year! Really, this last year or so has been quite eventful in many ways.
Tell me more about you, Michelle, are you a big cheese around this site? I do see your name alot here on EmpowHer, don't I?
I'll see you soon, I'm sure,
Laurel Rogers

Here I am, down here! Anyway I am new to empowerher and wanted to share a bit about this process with other women. I did smoke for so many years that I didn't think it possible to quit smoking. But I did, and I have been tobacco-free since June 10, 2009.
September 1, 2009 - 10:58pmIt was not easy at times and it is not easy today, but I put one foot in front of the other and that's what's been working so far.
