You can do it! Be sure to buy some gum and/or sunflower seeds (or other things like that). SC2 will give your hands something to do, but your mouth needs something to replace that oral fixation.

IMO cold turkey is the way to go. It sucks at first but after a few days the most painful of the cravings go away, and then it becomes something you only think about 100 or so times a day (instead of 10000 times at first), slowly scaling down till you only get a craving every once in a while. Apparently the cravings never go away entirely. My mom stopped smoking over 35 years ago, and hates smoking, but tells me that she still gets cravings :D.

With replacement, you have to quit twice--quit the habit of smoking, and then quit using nicotine. Just my two bits--it works for other people sometimes.

I know it's immature of me, but I can't help but giggle whenever someone uses the term "oral fixation." >_>


This was awesome!
I'll tank push my way into her heart. ☮♥&$!

From my experiences with tobacco addiction (I've dipped regularly for the past 5 years with week to month long periods of inactivity) you crave it really bad, but if you just fight through it for the 5min it's bugging you, you actually feel quite good. Exercise and lots of water!!!!!!!!!
