Way to go! Seriously...That is how it works. Are you using any aides like patches? For me personally it helped.

I was thinking about the electronic cig, but right now, I just want all of this crap out of my body the fastest way possible...

Cold Turkey and lots of water....

I've tried the patch, the pill, rationing, the gum, behavior modification...

I always weaken and give in to that nagging impulse...

So... Let's just see if I can just not smoke... not make a big ass deal out of it and give cigs the attention they deserve... none...

I'm tired of this smell on me, my clothes, in my house....

Thanks for the grapefruit suggestion... Any reason you suggest it?

Gum, dumdums, craft sticks, two bags of apples.... I need to get some celery and cut up my carrot sticks...

I'm going to try a different tactic this time... I'm going to attempt to stay calm and not have the OMG I DON'T HAVE ANY IN THE HOUSE panic attacks that have been a major downfall...

My self worth does NOT depend on having a smoke... lol

Greatfruit juice unsweetened,cinnomin oil or flavor cleans the palet and in most people, makes it to where you do not have the urge t smoke..If you take a sip of the juice and hold it in your mouth a second when you need a smoke it helps.


Sorry haven't been around been in bed all day.

However...day 17 and still moving along...smiles

Keep it up!!!

I slipped up I had some major stress over the weekend and I went out on Friday night...None today though and I don't plan on starting back up. Almost bought more nicorrete today to keep for those moments of extreme weakness, but because they are so expensive, I will try to be stronger next time. It's really hard to live with smokers when I have those moments of weakness. Haven't smoked all day, but have had a craving to smoke. Well, here I go again...

Go you for hopping on the non-smoking magic carpet again.

Can I suggest that instead of an e-cig that you try an inhalator. For me it helped break the visual cues in a way that an e-cig can't because it looks like a cig. My friends called my inhalator 'the tampon'.

I don't envy you going cold turkey, I could never have done that; I used Chantix and the inhalator for the hand-to-mouth habit. I also, sadly, had fear on side as I had just nigh on died from the worst chest infection I'd ever had. It was so bad I cried because I literally didn't have enough oxygen to move and only just about enough to keep breathing. Srsly!

You seriously don't wanna end up where I am. My story is posted in this thread if you go back and find it. I'm sure I don't need to type it out again.

It's tough but no-one ever said giving up nicotine was easy. It requires monumental amounts of will-power to achieve success but I can tell you that it will be one of, if not *the*, best gift you ever give yourself.

I wish you will-power and luck in pursuing this gift to yourself.

Come check in with us on the non-smoking magic carpet when you feel you can and remember that you only need to do it today. You can't worry about yesterday or tomorrow, just today. Break the day up if you feel it's too much; do it hour by hour if needs be. Half hour by half hour if necessary. Whatever it takes for you.

May the force be with you

and a spare for all you who are managing to stay on the magic carpet one day at a time.
