Hi Chris and Welcome,
Black licorice works for me as a diversion from gum. I cut the long sticks in two...(can't eat it all the time, though).
Use it when the most strenuous cravings happen. the taste itself steers me away from the wanting a cigarett and then I drink water. Every time I drink a bottle of water I tell myself I'm flushing cigarette toxins down the tubes.
:)Good luck and hang in there!!!auntdeb

Way to go Chris - You should have seen how many cankers I had by the end of the first week - Whatever we need to do to protect our quit, right? Keep on quitting...N.O.P.E.

Hi Chris,
this is the beginning of a whole new way of life for you. You can stay smoke free one day at a time..maybe right now it feels like one hour at a time; but that is okay. As Lady said, Your lungs are getting happy! The program will teach you about the withdrawal symptoms that you can expect, so you can be ready for them. Try and avoid smokers for a while, if you need to. You can do it. Congratulations!

chrispw, 40 hours is magic. I'm so proud of you! Are you working the program to the left? The workbook will really help you.
Don't chew the gum so much, I think. Chew it a couple of times to soften it and then "park" it in the side of your mouth.
