Re: 24 hours w/out a cigarette
Congrats. It is not easy but you can do it. I smoked for 12 years and quit 4 years ago. I feel so much better that I quit. I used to smoke over a pack a day and still to this day can't believe I did it. You can do it.

Re: 24 hours w/out a cigarette
i chewed gum. and kept a lot of rubber bands around. i know that sounds weird but most of my addiction and smoke habit was related to what i was doing with not only my mouth, but also my hands. i played with rubber bands LOL the first few days without nicotine will be the worst but i promise, if you let those cravings pass, they will eventually diminish and disappear altogether. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Day 4! Thats awesome!!!! I can't even picture myself at day 4.. I'll probably be going nuts... Keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoo Hooo...
I cut up straws the length of a cig then went outside and chewed it (as if i was smoking). It helped a little!

straws are a lifesaver!!!!!!!!! FMIL brought me a bag full of the ones u get from 7eleven ( for the coffee) to chew on

Re: 24 hours w/out a cigarette
I went from a pack a day to maybe a cigarette or two a month. I'll have one when I'm out having drinks but that's it. And to be honest with you I never want one when I'm home or at school or working, I just keep myself busy and as long as I don't have any on me then I'm fine.
I will admit, it's the hardest when you're around smokers, but it will definitely help you that FH quit also.
Good Luck and you can do it.....you know I go months and months without a cigarette sometimes....I figure once in a while isnt so bad and somehow I've managed not to become a full fledged smoker again

Re: 24 hours w/out a cigarette
FMIL ate sunflower seeds whenever she had a craving, in shells so it would keep her busy. And unsalted so she wouldn't get bloated
