Try using peppermint sticks. It satisfies the oral fixation and the need to have something in your hand.

Also, my husband swears masterbation will cure anything - perhaps you should try that when you get a craving....


good luck!

ROFLMAO.. ok - I will tell my co workers that I NEED to go out to the car for my break..

good luck chey and cobalt!!!!!!!

and i'd say that quitting together is better than alone. not only have you got the i-totally-know-how-you-feel support but it would be even harder to quit if someone you're around all the time was still smoking.

if you don't like the candy/gum idea try celery or carrot sticks.,

if you can't do it cold turkey, don't feel dicouraged. lots of people can't do it the first time but are succesful after a few tries. and lots need the nicotine gums and patches. take and use all the help you can get.

Is the love I gave her in the past, gonna be enough to last, if tomorrow never comes........

I've never had any luck quitting using any kind of a substitute, tho as an older friend once told me, "someday, you WILL quit smoking...whether you do it on your own is your call"...recently, tho, all 3 smokers in the house have cut back a great deal...see, we're trying to spruce up the house one room at a time, & after taking 3 coats of paint to cover the brown stained walls, the mrs declared that we would all have to take the smoking outside...this includes her as well, & with heat & humidity at sauna levels, we all wait a little longer until we absolutely HAVE to have a puff...
