Good Luck !

Sunday will be the start of week 4 for me ! I recommend drinking lots of water and substituting something like pretzels - it has been helping me a lot ! A friend also got me into making flavored toothpicks (cinnamon, peppermint, etc.) and having those around has helped A LOT !

In the past I had tried weaning off, the patch, the lozenges, the gum - - nothing ever worked. This time was just cold turkey. I woke up one morn and did not want to smoke, so I did not and have not. I was a pretty heavy smoker - so people are amazed. Heck, I am amazed - hehehehe

I can't say it gets better every day. For some reason, I had more of a problem week three than I did week one. But I just don't pick one up - no matter what - I know that would be the end of it for me....they are just so damned addictive !

Do whatever ya have to - get off the things - it is amazing how much better you feel in just a short amount of time (even after smoking heavy for 20+ years) ! And GOOOOOOD LUCK ! : )

Way to go
