I know I am new to the forum and don't know you guys but "YOU QUITTER!"
Sorry.
I was a smoker for 21 years and quit cold turkey in '92. I kept my routine (smoke breaks, etc.) and hung out with the smokers. I kept drinking and going to bars. This is what I learned.
1. Gums, patches, etc. did nothing for me.
2. When I dream, I am often smoking. Even now. Not a dream about smoking, just something I am doing while I'm doing whatever I am dreaming about.
3. The cravings NEVER go away. You just learn to manage it.
4. I only gained 10 pounds in the first month but lost it right away when i stopped eating pretzles and cigarette shapped foods as a substitute.
5. Guilt is what drove me. I felt (and still feel) that I will have failed if I smoke, even one cigarette. I don't accept failure well.
Keep up the fight. Know it is not going to change you much now but in your later years, you'll appreciate it.
