Hi, I'm new here. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, a life without cigs!
So far so good...lol

Although my nic test says I'm highly addicted, I believe it's more mental than physical. My coping strategies include keeping my mind occupied with other activities, and watching when the thoughts of cigs come, and then letting them go, putting a new thought in my head .....oh ya, I don't do that anymore...so happy I don't need to go out in the cold anymore. I've started a smokers cleanse to help rid my body of the nicotine etc as quickly as possible, and support my body through the process.
I've smoked on and off for 27 years, and steadily for the last 17 years. The amount I used to smoke was climbing upwards to 10-15 a day. Then about 2 months ago, I made a decision to quit for the new year, and started to decrease the amount I smoked. I was down to 5-7 a day.
I'm not planning to use any NRT, but I have the gum and will use it if I feel it's necessary.
I'm looking forward to using this site to help me with my quit.....sometimes it can feel like I'm all alone in this.
Any help you all can give is much appreciated.
