Hello! I just wanted to drop in and say hi - I've read a lot of your posts and feel like I know you already. :) I've been quit going on my fifth day now and my husband and I are doing this together. We bought Nicorette gum to help with the cravings but we've just been using suckers instead. We'll worry about the sugar addiction in a couple of weeks, I guess...

Congratulations to you and your husband. I am fairly new to this group and everyone makes you feel like you are part of a big family. And by the post I have read they stick with you through the good and bad, which is a wonderful thing. I am also quitting with my husband, you say that you have been using suckers, well for me it is water. I have never in my whole life drank so much water. But at least our new addictions are not harmful.

Congrats to you and your husband and welcome! Don't worry about the sugar addiction...sugar is our friend when we are quitting!! Whatever it takes to distract you from smoking. The SSC is just full of great information and lots of support, so post often and read lot's!!! Being rid of the addiction is so worth the sugar buzz!!!

Good for both of you! If you have made it this far without the gum, don't re-introduce nicotine into your body by using it. You are doing so well! Congratulations!
