Just thought I would post a little blurb to talk about my progress with quitting tobacco.

Originally, I was planning on using the Nicoderm CQ patch. I used the patch for two days, but it started burning everytime I put it on. So, after two days of the patch, I had a decision to make: either start chewing again, or quit cold turkey…

I decided that since I had already made the decision to quit, the only thing to do would be to bite the bullet and see my decision through.

So, Im pleased to say that I’ve made it since Wednesday, May 5th (12 days) with absolutely no nicotine at all. Of course, there are still occassional cravings (mostly after meals), but a stick of Extra Polar Ice gum takes care of those pretty quick.
