I just couldn’t see spending $55 on a box of nicotine gum so when I ran out two days ago I just stopped and the first day without gum was hard, but now it’s the second day without gum and I feel better already not being tied to nicotine. Some will probably say it’s too early to stop the gum but I simply would rather have good food (groceries) to eat rather than use the gum. I made jambalaya yesterday and we have leftovers enough that I sent Angie to work with a bowl of jambalaya for her boss, Diedra. Angie and her boss are very close and I just wanted Diedra to have some because I am very proud of my cajun cooking.

Very great news… congratulations…
You’re in the home stretch now. I’m rooting for you.
Keep it up! After two weeks, it gets better, you’re doing great!
Your past the first hurdles, great job man. That is truly impressive and inspiring. You gotta understand that you should never slip. In the case of cigarettes, smoking just one will derail you and lead to another. They should grow more repulsive with time. They are a terrible blight on society. It takes a lot of strength to quit, I have yet to find this strength for myself, but I’m extremely happy for you.
Great stuff @jukebox. I’m now off cigarettes for 7.5 years. It is worth the effort. Sometimes I still dream that I’m smoking. It is one hell of an addiction and habit to quit. Stay strong as it gets easier each day.
Good going @jukebox! What’s the longest you’v ever made it before? You’re closing in on that critical 2 week mark. They say if you make it for 2 weeks, you’re good to go.
2 days is the longest I ever made it without cheating…so nine days is really good for me…5 more days and it’s two weeks…!!
Awesome juke! I think it would be a great boost for you psychologically if you quit. PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP!! You’re past the worst part!
