Jesse, I have never smoked so I can\'t say I have been there!! But I have heard that many people are more successful if they use hard candies or gum, but more importantly, keep their hands busy? Plant a garden? Mow grass for the elderly? Do jigsaw puzzles?
Get a hobby? Paint by number? I know the pain and grief of addiction but mine was to pain medication! AND!!! I was only taking what I was told to take, an administered, prescribed dosage!! Long and Ugly
Story!!! Good Luck My Friend!!!
lots of water jesse and distractions.... i\'m at day 127 of not smoking and i can tell you that the water and keeping busy helped. the water will help get the nicotine out of the body faster.
i hope you\'re still hanging in there. it\'s hard, i know. i smoked for 30 some years but it\'s really worth it now. you never realize until you quit how much time is taken up by smoking and now i find that i can get a lot more done and i\'m enjoying things that i wasn\'t able to do before. as i tell everyone , the mindset is half the battle.

Good luck to you!
I\'m working on this myself.....
I have cut back and have been self disciplined enough to bring myself that far.
In no time at all, I know I can do it!
Keep up the good work and I believe in you!

Tis a noble goal good sir! (Part of me wishes we still spoke like that!)
Hope that you prevail over smoking. I\'m like qutee, so I can only guess how hard this is for you.
Thank you all for the encouraging words and support.
I do need to keep myself busy! I don\'t think about smoking when I\'m preoccupied! An extreme sport maybe?! Good luck and keep it up too jenn!
