Toothpicks,straws and such help to manage the oral fixation and something to keep the hands occupied.

Congratulations and stick with it.

I must have quit a hundred times- sometimes for months on end, only to pick it up again. The last time I quit- years ago now- I just grit my teeth and determined to never smoke again with God's help. And I haven't picked up the habit again...

All I can say is I did it cold turkey, and after a week or so it's not physical- it's all between your ears. You'll make it!

Re: 14 hours without a smoke and counting

I had a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery in September, so I quit smoking after 45 years. I have had no problems or cravings at all. But my wife decided it would be better for my health if she quit smoking too. So she did on November 3, last year she is going through hell with cravings and mood swings. We are re-doing our living area with hardwood floors and all new furniture, but the hardwood has been delayed in shipping for some reason and it's almost 2 weeks late.
This is not being good for my health, she has the contractor avoiding her calls, all the people at her work are making fun of the situation. In the daily meetings one of the other managers always seems to be able to slip in the word "hardwood" as often as possible and she just growls. It was to be delivered again today, but no. Now it's Monday morning. She is so pissed even the dog is avoiding her.

So just keep at it ne7800, you'll make it......I don't know if I will though.
