Hello All,
I've been quit for over a year and a half. When I'd first quit, things were quite difficult, but i got through the worst of it, and I'm doing okay now. I occasionally think about smoking, but I'm deeply invested in living a smoke-free life. I love being a non-smoker, I love not having to feel guilty, not having nic-fits, not having that tightness in my chest... it's a beautiful feeling being free of cigarettes.
My problem is this- I have a pretty big exam coming up. I'm in grad school, and I've been studying for this exam for 10 months. And that old nicodemon is slowly entering my mind again. I'd hoped that my quit would be strong enough to withstand the stress, but I'm worried nonetheless. I really want to get through this without a slip-up. How have any of you dealt with stressful situations when you were well into your quit? I was even thinking of buying some nicorette, just in case (I haven't had any on me in a while, all my old niocorette has long since expired). I'm not at in an emergency situation yet, I just want to be prepared for anything that might happen.
