This day 3 and I think someone may die! Been there, done that. For two weeks my wife and kids cowered in the corner when I came home from work..well not really, but it was tough going cold turkey. Keep saying - ONE DAY AT A TIME..and do it.

Good luck! The nicotine should be out of your system rather quickly, the rest is a mental battle!

Keep it up!!! Remember all the good things that will come sas a result and try to look past the difficulty. Everyone you care about gets a big win along with you. They get a healthier you for the long haul and in the end you will be happier not having a "monkey" to carry around. Also, praying helps in EVERYTHING we think we need help with!!!!

Hang in there. You're probably past the worst of it now.
It's worth the withdrawal agony. I smoked for forty years before before successfully kicking the habit. Been smoke free for twelve now, and only wish I'd quit earlier, when I still had a sense of smell and hadn't wasted so much money.

Keep saying - ONE DAY AT A TIME..and do it. My Father was a three pack per day smoker & he HAD to quit smoking. He quit back in 1968, and had a VERY TOUGH time quiting. He chewed packs of gum to help. Before he passed away; I asked him if he missed smoking and he said "everyday"!!

My wife wanted me to stop cigars, not only is it not good for you, cost to much, and stinks, so I said fine but you have to help me get over the wants. She said ok, how can I help.
Well, I said, everytime I want to go get a cigar we have to have sex, well the wife said honey, we can go to the doctor more often, get a loan, and the new soaps take all the smell out.
I love the cigars :-)

Good luck to anyone who quits I quit chewing too and man I tell you I'm glad I did, the cost alone was worth it to me. Now I have more money to spend on hunting and fishing! After the first couple of weeks it got better it was all about finding something else to do when I was usually chewing like after dinner I'd work on a puzzle or go for a hike or a walk and it got easier. Please hang in there and don't just kick the habit ..... KICK IT'S BUTT!!!!!! Good luck!
