Elly, pitty the poor smoker ! It's not that gross it's just a plain and simple addiction to nicotine... & that's all. This thinking helped me - cos it's the truth. I spose my little piece of advice would be not to replace smoking with candy or any bad habit... drink lots of water, eat heaps of fruit & do a little bit of exercise(just like those non-smokers do) & you'll be happy. Gum is o.k.....as long as it doesn't have nicotine in it - you won't get addicted to it ! I'm a big fan of Cold Turkey also, sounds like you've got it licked ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 425 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 10,647 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2762.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 61 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

Elle, where is your quit meter ? I tried twice, once cold turkey & then NRT (gum). I lasted about 3 weeks on the NRT gum. This time is different... likemost others here, i 'swatted' up & understand what i'm fighting. The good thing about Cold turkey is that you get over the nicotine withdrawl in 3 days. this leaves 3 weeks of emotional journey & the of the time learning to adjust to a non-smoking lifestyle. ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 425 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 10,649 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2762.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 61 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 46 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43
