Hi Twilights,

Good luck with this, quitting smoking is hard, I know, I've smoked for
20+ years and have quit many times, only to start up again, bummer.

The longest I quit was for a year (in 2006). What helped me the most
was having something in my mouth all the time, (yes, I am a compulsive
eater, too, but that's another story). I bought sugarless gum by the
busload and that helped a lot. Even though my jaw used to get tired
from chewing 24-7, it kept me from smoking, and being sugarless, it
didn't pack on the pounds or rot my teeth out.

I'm on a diet, now, if I can stick to it and lose the weight I need to
lose, then I will try once again to quit smoking, but I don't want to
try and quit two things at once, as IMHO that's a recipe for disaster.

Good luck and best wishes from SheNerd :)

Good luck, I know you can do it! The first three days are the hardest,
then the nicotine is out of your system. I finally quit for good in
1991 after three tries, used to smoke over 2 packs a day. Don't drink
any alcohol for awhile, it makes the cravings worse. I used to shred
paper napkins after a meal or with coffee to do something with my hands.

I've been smoking for about 10 years, Ive had 2 open heart surgeries
<---good reason to quit right? But the stress sucks, I smoked to feel
"normal" and sane. I quit for my pregnancy.

But this is hard, Im just telling myself its not an option, next!
