    Don't be afraid to use the nicorete! It's only temporary and s a good step in the right direction. i used the nicorete mini lozenges and they were a life saver in the beginning. They suggested 9 of them and I, too only used 4 or 5 a day the first week or so. Eventually the need for those wore off and I was peachy without anything!
    11 weeks for me today. Whoo hoo to you and all the fit quitters we have here!

    I quit long time ago, I used the patch, and chewed cinnamon sticks (raw cinnamon, not the candy). I would get them from the bulk food store and pick them about the size around of a cigarette, and then take them home and cut them about the length of a cigarette. Kept me busy with my hands...eased the "habit" part of smoking, and the strong taste of the cinnamon eased the craving for the taste of the cigarette. Also made my coffee taste good when I stirred the cinnamon in the coffee. :smile:

    Congrats on your 11 weeks, yay!
    Corrie62: I like the cinnamon stick idea, I used to chew them raw just for the heck of it when I was young, never thought to do it now.

    I made it through my first 48 hours, but for some reason I think today is going to be the hardest so far. I woke up pretty much pissed at the world (okay, so mainly pissed at my cat for waking me up repeatedly lol). Then I weighed myself, which I usually do mid-week just to check in, and I've gained a 1/2 lb. since Monday so I'm a bit crabby over that too. But I'll just stay on plan and hopefully this will all even out. I went for an hour-long walk last night when I started feeling a little on-edge, so I'll just do that again today. I also see a lot of napping in my future for today :smile:

    Thanks again, everyone
