| I've been quit for almost two years now and let me tell you, the pride NEVER goes away! What worked for me was staying away form anywhere smokers might gather. That was hard since my husband is in a band and the bars are so full of smoke you don't need to actually light up to get your buzz. Drinking plenty of water and chewing gum really does help. Cravings only last 5 minutes at the most, try to hang on to that thought. They will occur less and less. The best thing I found was whenever a craving came along I changed something. Stand up, switch tasks, straighten the covers on your bed. Just do anything as long as it changes what you are doing now. Good luck. Lou |

| You can do it!!!!! I quit smoking with the patch and it has been 4 months! I had been smoking for 14 years and I did not want to quit, I had to! My advice, don't beat yourself up if you slip, it happens but let me warn you that ciggarette is going to taste like dog crap! Honest! I got myself one of those little hand held video games (Tetris) and played that thing when ever I had a craving instead of eating everything in the pantry. No one can beat my score at Tetris now!!! Good luck to you!!!!!! I know you can do this!!!!!!!!!!

| Oh Claire! You are right about the video game. I forgot. I kept my laptop beside the couch and in the evenings I would play games during the commercials! That helped a BIG lot! That's when I did my hand mending and hemming too! Lou |

| Good for you! Keep up the good work, I know you can do this! Just keep your hands busy and you will be able to do it! Maybe take up crocheting or knitting or something!

| I'm sorry that I can't personally be of much help to you since I"ve never smoked, but I heard that having a lot of chewing gum on hand helps.. Chew whenever you have a craving. Hubby quit cold turkey in 1999 the day that we moved in together. He knew that I would not stand for it. He did go through hell and coughed up a storm for almost a year after. Ask him know though and he'll tell you that quiting was the best thing he ever did aside from marrying me of course... ROFL Bravo for you!! |

I'm a very active person too, cannot even make it through a 1 hour Tv show without getting out of my chair. Dogs hate sitting on my lap. But I do crochet. I love it. and when I was quitting I did a lot of it to keep my hands busy when I was resting. It helps just to keep your hands occupied. | |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | That is great! Better to put on a few pounds than be a skinny corpse! My hubby cann hardly walk at 54 had angioplasty at 45 with 3 stents and quit for 1 year then went back and is smoking 2 packs a day. I know you can do it! It's also better for your furbaby's health. He sucked on live savers when he quit.
