Wow, this thread took off pretty good! Thanks to everyone who has replied. Congrats to all those who have quit and good luck to those who are planning on quitting!
Day 3 smoke-free here! I don't plan on using the meds, just cause I don't want to. The patches are helping a lot. I'm still debating over getting the nicotine gum and alternating between that and the patches. I am going through juicy fruit and hard candy like water. I'm thinking of stocking up on suckers/lollipops, thinking that they will occupy my hands and my mouth at the same time. Feeling good! Day #4, here I come... !
