Hi!! Sar, your definately doing great.... don't worry about the times you cheated... think of all the times you would have normally had a cigarette but didn't!
God how I wish I can use the patch or the gum. I'm not doing so good on these nicotine cravings myself... cheated also... but all in all, doing ok. I still am going to hypnosis monday(surgery tuesday) just for some hopefully added support of the subconscience.
I really think your doing great... and it's nice to be able to know other people are going thru it. I work in a casino..... smoke everywhere, and the smell drives me absolutely insane.... and the funniest thing.... is how I perceive a pretty lady with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. Is that what I looked like? Kind of keeps me going. I don't know.. for some reason, men seem to look different with smoke flying out of their mouth... than woman to me. Weird.
I'll let you know about the hypnosis on monday. Very curious.... and pretty exited. I have a degree in psychology... altho I never did anything with it. The whole thing fascinates me.Keep it up.... thinking about you....
Hey, I haven't seen to many drunken stories.... does this mean?JANE... THANKS FOR THE LUCK!!!!!!!!!
Kristi.

> Don't worry. I cheated for months. Wouldn't buy cigarrettes but sometimes bummed the equivalent of a pack. Sometimes took the gum out of my mouth in order to light up. Eventually I stopped cheating. Then later I dropped the gum. It's been over a year and it's no longer tempting at all. And you're right. Smokers do smell funny now!
