| Wow. Congrats! I quit for 3 weeks earlier this year, but I of course went back gradually. Best of luck!! I think my next step will be trying the patch.

| Oh, and I heard a good way to curb hunger is to rinse with listerine whenever you feel a craving. It worked for me for a while and I didnt' use anything else. (not store brand or other mouth washes because they don't contain as much alcohol).

| Keep up the good work and never stop trying. Don't have personal experience - one bad habit I did't indulge in. Would it help to know that you'll keep your puppy healthier by not smoking?

| That's good news! I have tried a few times but to no avail but once I make my move to the WA area Im going to work on it again, here is a link to download a quit meter, it's really cool, shows you how many days of your life you saved , the money spent etc.. how many ciggys you haven't smoked, I was using it and it really helps! good luck! there is also a forum that I was going to for support it's called smoke away, they really helped but I fell off so many times, anyway http://www.dedicateddesigns.com/qk/ |

| I'm so proud of you I quit cold turkey 25 years ago. Well maybe not cold turkey. It was right after my divorce and I was in a new relationship and we quit together, but I think we sublimated sex for cigarettes. To keep from craving that after sex cigarette, we just had more sex. Seriously though, what helped me, was first of all I never told my self that I could not have another one, that would have made me want one even more. For the first few days, I took it one hour at a time. I would tell myself, just wait one more hour, and I'd find something to keep myself busy. To keep from eating, I sucked on lemon drops. And I had a pencil or a toothpick in my mouth all the time, just to keep my mouth and hands busy. The "keeping busy" also helped to keep from gaining. I found that driving was the worst, because I would always light a cigarette before I'd start the car, so on my commute to and from work, I would do deep breathing. Draw in as much air as your lungs can hold, and then hold it in for as long as you can. Try it, it gives you an oxygen rush. Good luck |

| Congrats, Gina, that's AWESOME!! Water!!! Drink lots of water!!!!! Stay hydrated all the time. It will help to ease the hunger pains. Eat small healthy meals, munch on fruit and veggies, low cal stuff. Be careful of high fat high sugar foods. WATER!! Drink WATER!! I am really proud of you, girl. Smoking kills.

| Good for you!!!! Good luck and I hope you make it through as it is very tough . . .my hubby went cold turkey 5 years ago and never looked back . . . I bought him an expensive car as an incentive and it finally worked! Told him if he ever smoke again, me and my daughter will smash his headlights He treats his car like I treat Tiger . . . |
