" I'll hold your hand forever if that's what it takes. Cold turkey is all about mind set. You sound like your ready so lets go. Set your date and take your journey and stick it out with me and all the others here to support you. Everyone deals with thier cravings a little differently. I'm probably not the best one to give advice on that...but here are a few thoughts, try sugar free chewing gum, taking a walk, drink a glass of water, nap often, reward yourself often because you deserve it and post here when you need us or just feel like it. I'm sure others here will have some awesome advice for you. Take care and know you can do this. "
