Quitting Smoking

Okay, so the cold turkey approach hasn't worked so well for me. I have however, smoked less and less every day since I decided to quit. Today, I have only had 2 cigs. I've been up for nearly 12 hours, so this is quite an accomplishment for someone that smoked nearly two packs a day just a week ago.
Still going to quit, sometimes though, it takes some people a little bit longer than others to do it.
On a side note, the cigarette that I smoked this morning made me physically ill.

You're doing REALLY well. And yeah that can happen. How soon after you woke up did you smoke it? I can't smoke when I first get up, if I do I will get sick. I have to wait for an hour or two. Get a couple of cups of tea into me first lol.
I'll be around for a couple more days. (or until this pack runs out).
AB I'm not little...nor am I weak
run boy RUN.A suggestion, if i may for helping with those intense craving moments.
Sour gummy worms.
The more sour the better. The intensity of the experience helps distract the mind from the craving and the puckering and sourness in the mouth helps to not want to experience it again.
Reward your cravings with sour and, in my experience, you wil crave less and less.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Hmmm maybe. Of course I like lemons and limes (just eating them, and I like to put slices in water) but then if I remember the whole sour gummy experience it does not taste the same at all. The last time I quit I used Beeman's gum. It's pepsin gum, and has a very strong wintergreen like taste. You can't buy it here anymore. But maybe I can find some wintergreen candies.

I wouldn't really recommend this, but when I quit, here's what I did:
I went cold turkey. But I allowed myself a bit of snuff now and then. Yeah that stuff is nasty. But it also made it very easy for that to be a very temporary thing. I used that a small bit for the first 2 weeks and then I dropped it too. It just helped with the niccotine cravings.
I guess niccotine gum might serve the same purpose.

I really don't either, and I wrote it. Actually I think it goes back to one time when I was in High School. We were on some type of school sponsored road trip to somewhere about 5-6 hours away. I knew that sometime during the trip that I would need an infusion of nicotine. A Friend of mine offered me a dip, and when I asked if he had anything to spit in he said "real men swallow the spit".
I swallowed, then proceeded to get sick all over the back of the bus.
Yes, heart surgery is definitely studley...I really enjoyed all the attention that I was getting from the hot nurses at the Heart Hospital
