Do the patch... it helps a lot!
tried without it last week (Wed, Thur and Friday CLEAN), but as soon as i hit the weekend (and the tequila) i smoked the nearly a pack...
but now i'm using the patch... and it really helps!!!!
Haven't smoked today nor yesterday (doja is a different story though)...
I hate that I smoke (but kinda love it though) and just wanted to inform some of you fellow smokers out there, that it works!:D
I'll update you after this weekend though (and more tequila). |

Gum
Lots and lots of gum... |

Good luck... I quit "cold turkey" ten years ago.
I just had to give up drinking for a year and find new friends who did not party.
It was well worth it, though. :) |

I found luck with the gum. (almost 5 smokeless months!) It really helped me because it tied a physical act to the nicotine experience, much like smoking cigs. (if you're like me, and find comfort in the very act of smoking.)
Don't worry about cheating either. I started with a gum and cigarette combo (gum during the morning through the end of the workday, and then a cigarette or 5 when I got home in the evening.) Eventually I took them as one in the same, and slowly began phasing the cigarettes out compeltely. After that, I stayed on the gum for a few months (cause that s addictive too!) until I was finally tired of paying $20 a week on gum.
Overall, props to you. I was a smoker for 12+ years, and quitting has made me feel totally different in a very good way.
[the biggest thing to stress is not to get down on yourself for cheating/slipping... it WILL happen.]
*EDIT* [in case it wasn't clear, gum=nicotine gum.] |

| My smoking days are between Thursday evenings or Fridays til like Monday night. The other thing is, I can't smoke a cig w/o having a piece of gum or a mint in my mouth. If I try smoking just the cig and nothing in my mouth, I'll get rid of the cig quick! Now if I can only stay away from other things that make me want to smoke, then I'm OK. |

I tried the patch too and it works, that and vegging out in front of my 55 plama inch TV i sold last year playing call of duty for 8 hours..
It does work. The only downside is I didnt know what to do since I wasnt needing a fix everynow and then from a smoke.
I actually ended up fidgeting alot. |
