Ok Ive only been smoking for about a year now, but anyone that knows me knows that when I do something I do it all the way, even if it is with such a bad habbit, sorry, ADDICTION. I began to smoke because I enjoyed it, espically at parties (with alcohol). Then I began to see that its good after a meal, or even better that morning coffee. Hey, why not while Im hanging out with friends...enjoy it, right? Well Ive been addicted for a while now, obviously. So I went from Parliament Menthol Lights (used to be like candy to me), then I decided to quit cold turkey about 4 months ago and it didn't work. So after about a week of craving and sneaking one now and then I decided to go to Marlboro Ultra lights. I know this was a big change but it didn't last for long. I then went to Marlboro Menthol Milds...way to strong and I was coughing up weird crap every day. Then I went to Marlboro Lights and that was too strong so I decided to try to Parliaments again...they weren't the same and quite frankly very unenjoyable. Then I heard menthol was more addicting. This made sense to me, but still I wanted that menthol. I decided to go to Marlboro Menthol Ultra Lights and work my way down. So then I went to Marlboro Ultra Lights, for about a month and about a week ago decided I just had to give up. I didn't want to do it cold turkey because I just didn't want to feel like major crap like I did last time, so I spend $30 on some Nicorette gum (2mg). Now its working, Im not craving when Im chewing the gum, and Im able to hold myself over for another piece (I just don't think about it) and it seems to subside. Now to make this short, I just want to totally quit and I don't want to spend another $30 on the gum. I have about 10 peices left, so about 5 days. Im thinking just go down to 1 peice a day until its gone? I changed my morning habit from a cigarette and coffee to the gum and tea, and quite honestly, I enjoy it. It makes me feel better and I, and my CAR don't reek of smoke. Smoking really is a turn off for girls espically, and its hard to see that even when you see a girl smoking, but I think its true. Has anyone has any experience with the gum? I really want to quit and I dont want to go back...but hey, if I have to buy more gum I will. Its better to chew the gum than smoke cigarettes. Financially its about the same, but I know if I keep on chewing I will keep on craving. I smoked the last of the cigarettes I had laying around, so now its just me and the gum. Thanks for listening, help!
