i just woke up and took a gum Nicorette instead of a smoke made my self a coffee and chick my gum 3 min then replace it with trident
i want to decrease the amount of cigarettes i smoke everyday by switch gum from trident to nicorette when i have a craving and try to smoke less cigarette as possible in a day. pretty hard not to light up
i hard to change our habits Do you have one that it will be hard to get rid of it?
EXCELLENT!!!!...me too....no Nicorettes, just will-power ...
Here's a workable device: Make sure you never have a pack of ciggies in the house in the morning, and it's usually too much trouble to go and buy the damn things.....so you end up getting to the end of the day without a smoke......obviously only useful if you work from home, and can control your environment...gives your lungs all day to get rid of that gunge....every day you are smoke free, is another day you give your lungs to clean themselves...
Update this thread tomorrow, and let us know how you are doing...

another trick i also do is when i have that craving it just last 2 min just the time to have couples of sip of water.
joshtaal: I gave up smoking 11 years ago, and I was smoking three packs a day!!!
How did I do it?
I went cold turkey, carried mentos for the habit of having something in my mouth & a pen for the habit of holding something in my hand.The other contributing factor to my success is, I wanted to give up for no other reason than I was sick of it.
Good luck with your task ahead.
thanks for the tips yeah the thing is right now i have my gum but nothing to play with i smoke normally 1 and a half paq a day the hardest time is when i am on the comp and in early in the morning
hard gess switching from trident to nicorette form nicorette to water from water to trident and for a real smoke but it's been 2 hours now am awake normally i would have smoke 8 cigarettes by now now just had 1 and a half not so bad but it's normal i am on the computer where i smoke heavily..... will have to log out and do something else

Hi Marie, I quit cold turkey 5 weeks ago, no problem, no gum, no patches. I found the important thing that worked for me was to stick to the same routine. Coffee time still I would go outside and sit under the patio like I did before. After meals I would do the same things as before except no cigs..It is working fine and the cravings are only lasting a few minutes. Have a go.....
Ok, well done...that means you smoked half your usual consumption yesterday... but you're still smoked basically a pack of cigarettes in one day.....you've got a way to go. What's your goal for today??...How many smokes??...how are u going to go about it?...do you think you are strong enough??...if you feel yourself getting weak, focus on all the really yucky results of what's gonna happen to you if you continue....look at emaciated cadavers online, of people who die agonizing deaths from lung cancer....what a horrible death!!...Do you need any more motivation??...nah, prolly not. Now go drink a glass of water...good luck...one day at a time. I didn't smoke a thing yesterday....still got no smokes in the house...let's see how I do today...
valleygirl: i've smoke 19 smoke yesterday not bad for a start today i will try to smoke less then 19
