It will be two years for me the 18th!
Just doing my yearly check-in with this thread: June 1st was my fourth year without cigarettes. That's an entire enlistment without smoking!
Oddly enough I can still have a Cuban occasionally without feeling the pull of the other lung busters. Now in my 26th year without them. Keep it up!
My wife used the patch and it work for her. One day she forgot to put one on and did't realize until about two days later.
She had to quit drinking to make it stick. I guess smoking and drinking go together.
Tricare covers the patch 100%
She was good for about a year. Then one night out we had a couple of drinks and the next thing I know she is bumming one from the lady next to us.
She just ordered the stage 1 patch and plans to try again.
She can't drink and not smoke so she is putting down the beer which mean I have to put down the bourbon.
Whatever it takes to get her to quit
I've been bumming a few lately myself. At the VFW, the Marine Corps League, etc. So far it hasn't reawakened the Beast...but I'm watching it carefully because it's an insidious thing. :dead:
