newbie.....not sure if i quit???

I have smoked for 35 years,the last 10 or so its been 2+pks a day. I mean i am addicted!! Like many say i enjoyed it. Yes i know all the bad nasty things but it just didnt matter. I just could never see me without a cig in my hand. I am still very concerned as this was not a plan. I just started taking a lozenger that someone gave me and it seem to work. Just been a couple days but i am still in shock that i have done this! My last cig was saturday morning 7/8. I have alot of questions about these lozengers but i guess i should put that somewhere else? Thanks so much for your time and help Correen

Help

Oh Miss Weak i sure know what you are talking about! I dont know why i expected so many people to notice i hadnt smoked.....but i did?? And like you some of those people still have not said a word. But by gosh they always said stuff,hounded me when i smoked! Grrrr Does your H smoke? If he doesnt, he just can not know what your going through. I think that is why a place like this is a blessing. For me i think its because i am so very proud of myself. I just cant believe i have not smoke in three days! This is big stuff to me! So i think i was expecting them to be really excited and glad. Oh well :) You just keep at Miss Weak, we will conquer this!

newbie.....not sure if i quit???

Thank you so much!! "work of the addiction" what is that or where would i read about it. When you refer to left side, do you mean glove box? Will i be in withdrawel if i am taking the lozenger? I sometimes get these feeling of tingling in my arms/fingers,kinda creepy. I think i am also getting kinda edgy, ya know getting mad at nothing,feel kind og hyper or something. LOL My poor teenager....her turn now :) I have been on vacation,I go back to work tomorrow that will be a real test! Thanks Correen
