Congrats to you on your quit! It just goes to show you that if you really want to quit more than you want to smoke, you will succeed!  Plus, it sure can save you a LOT of $$$$ !!!

and BTW ... Nicotine gum helped a lot to kill the cravings  ...
 
slowly the cravings decreased ..and the gum intake also decreased . 
 
now i am using just one gum a day .  mostly after dinner and before sleep .

Welcome Srinivas,

I am sorry to hear about the circumstances but very glad you made a positive out of it. How are you finding it so far?
What are you doing to manage cravings?

Congratulations Srinivas! If you take it one day at a time and do not think beyond that, you will surely remain smokeless for the rest of your life! Good Luck! PS What happens to the 500 and 1000 rupee notes that are stashed under the mattresses here in the UK. How do your Brit compatriots get compensation for those? Penitent 4587 smokefree days!!!

Hi ...
 my name is Srinivas Murthy..
i am from India .. just a month back indian prime minister banned old currency and since then there is  cash crisis in india .. 
since i have no cash in hand (although i have some in my bank).. i could not buy cigarettes .. i took the opportunity and quit smoking ..
first week i restricted myself with 2 -3 cigarettes a day and since 3 weeks i completely stopped smoking. 
i hope to continue cigarette free until the end of my life .. 
thanks to Modi for giving this opportunity
