i have to give up the fucking fags (err ciggarettes for the Yanks
)!!!! argh!
man it's hard.
i have had a months success chewing the gum, the patches just didnt work for me. i found it better to chew a gum when i had a craving instead of get a constant supply of nicotine. i crave at different times of the day and found that even with a patch i would still crave as if i had no nicotine at all! the gum was the way forward.
but alas, i am smoking again.
reading this thread has given me inspiration to try again tomorrow.
wish all of you wanna-be-non-smokers all the best!
