Hi, welcome to the best support site I have found so far. Its made a diffrence in my quit. I am 14 days quit, after being smoke free for a little over a month, then slipping, and smoking a whole pack in one night, I was using the nicotine gum, and then the patch,,,,,and honestly I don't think I could have done it without the help, but now I am COMPLETELY nicotine free, no patch, no gum......just chewing on JuJu stxs......google JuJu Stxs and you will find out what I am talking about. I started an embroidery project that I compulsively worked on in the first few days of my quit, because it kept my fingers busy. I smoked for 32 years, since I was 12. We can do this together, check into this forum at least once a day, and I will write you. I know what you are feeling, because I felt that way too. Its amazing how mind consuming quitting can be, the harder you try not to think about smoking the more you think about it. I really think the key is to pat yourself on the back at the end of a sucsessful day.....and keep it one day at a time, anyway, I just want to encourage you to stay here and post often,,,,,,because your not alone,,,,,,,,I think about smoking everyday, but now I am thinking how great it is that I am not spending 6.50 on a pack of smokes. Thats a lot fun retail therapy money...... to spend on whatever I fancy.,.....I like to try new teas, (flavored) and I love my coffee still.....but now I can just go shopping and buy some sandals for summer and not be worried that I don't have enough for smokes.....Its been the most liberating thing I have ever experenced.......and its so healthy for your child......the best reason in the world to quit......Jules
