I believe that people are more addicted not to nicotine but to the movements of their hand while smoking, it always seems that something lacks between your fingers when you decide not to smoke anymore!

I'm craving the nicotine, but the whole smoking thing. That's the hardest part for me. Maybe if I go outside and suck on a straw for a while ;). I’m doing okay.

I’ll have three months in 3 days. I gotta tell ya’, I’m one of those who gets sick when they quit. I haven’t been “right” physically for almost these entire 3 months but I wouldn’t trade it.

I’m tobacco free! No patch… cold turkey…
