Hey Congratulations on not smoking!! I'm smoke-free 8 years now. Toughest thing I've ever stopped doing. I smoked for 36 years and it took me years to stop. I used the gum, the anti-depressants, the patches, and they can help but not for me. Here's what I did.....Smoked the last one before bed and destroyed the rest of the pack, and next day I put off going to get more for 15 minutes, or 30 minutes or 2 minutes. when I reached the end of whatever time limit I set, I would put it off again and set another limit for until the cravings became bearable. I also found that cinnamon sticks would help put off the urge. I guess I went through a thousand of those things. In the middle of the night I would get a Freeze Pop and eat those things till I could go back to sleep. Also try to keep busy it helps to take your mind off the craving. Above all, if something happens and you do start smoking again, be sure to decide on a new quit date. Just keep trying to stop smoking. Eventually you will make it. Just don't stop trying to stop smoking. Also don't hang out with other smokers because it is just too easy to bum a smoke from them. (Most every smoker wants us to smoke with them.) Don't go to places where its O.K. to smoke either.
Chances are that you'll always face times when you will want to smoke till the day you die. That is the nature of the beast. I also called the American Cancer Society and asked them for any literature they could send me. I imagine you can go to their website these days. Hope this helps you and Good Luck!!
