    The only thing that helps with my cigarette cravings is the Nicorette gum. It really helps with the cravings, and makes me a happier person for about 45 minutes. As for the food cravings, eat filling snacks during the day. Granola bars, fruit, veggies. All of your cravings will pass soon! I feel for you...good luck!!

    Just take ONE minute at a time. I quit smoking 8 years ago after trying at least a million times. It is the hardest thing I have ever done. I did think that controlling my eating and trying to exercise really helped. I can honestly say that each day gets a little better and one day builds on the next. Hang in there.

    Thanks! I'm taking it easy on myself about my diet right now, I'm still recording everything I eat and trying to be healthy about it but until I get the ciggie cravings under control I'm not gonna beat myself up.
