Hi Guys

Just want to update you, I decided to stop the NRT Gum today and it is a bit tough to be honest i didn't expect it to be that hard, Ikeep on thinking about having just one cigarette,

I thought it was over but it certainly not, so i can say that the gum was simillar to smoking and i should have gone cold turkey from day one.

I have been quit for 3 Weeks, 5 Days, 19 hours, 2 minutes and 15 seconds (26 days). I have saved £155.73 by not smoking 669 cigarettes. I have saved 2 Days, 7 hours and 45 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 25/07/2008 02:09

Well done on not having just that 1 cig.

Also giving up the gum means in 3 days you will not have any nicotine in your system.

Where as if you keep on having NRP of any sort keeps the body used to nicotine
