Hi tcc56,

7 weeks as a non smoker. well done. I used to have chewing gum, but I replaced it with fruit like diced melon or mixed fruit salad. peanuts too. I usually have a boiled sweet if I go out, it last quite a while and sooths your throat. Like thenunn says meditation is good for getting rid of stress. Even coming on this site and having a good moan and a good laugh helps.

Stay positive. your doing great.

Hi ya Tracey, am so glad your still quit gal, like you say 7 weeks already how time flys eh.

I dont think I can better the comments that you've had from the Girls, but just got one, maybe keep some gum handy, just in case you get a bad time speak later, Pete

hi tracey, well done on the 7 weeks...next week it'll be 2 months that sounds so solid!!! am at 6 weeks now and like you have chewed so much gum it makes my face ache! find sucking tictacs helps or like the others said boiled sweets. I ve also bought myself a yoga dvd and aim to do this 3 times a week. the breathing exercises really make you feel good and cleansed if you know what i mean? its like your detoxing your body of all those nasty toxins and years of tar and stuff plus it helps with stress and my 'craving rages' are a lot less than they were..keep it up tracey we're all in this together. jane
