The cravings suck, I have them frequently and sometimes they seem never ending.. but I'm hanging in there, I've been chewing a lot of gum.  |
Very proud that you are quitting! The last time I quit was 1999. The only thing that motivates me to not start again is, not only my lung condition, but how much harder it is to quit a second or third time. Remember to give yourself small rewards, use some money you're saving on not buying smokes. Good luck!
