thanks. I also have a book called 'How to Stop Smoking and Stay Stopped'. It basically teaches you how to accept the cravings rather than fighting them which helps to relieve tension. Accepting meaning you acknowledge them rather than repressing the desire to smoke. So many times I have been caught off guard when trying to quit because I have been really pushing the cravings down or away (food and keeping busy etc) then they suddenly push through and are much harder to deal with then.

Day 5 - no sleep again so feeling very rough just from that. Not many cravings but I am chewing too much sf gum and my weight is creeping up even though I'm not eating that much. It's probably the Li or the gum. Well I have to keep things in perspective - the no nicotine thing is most important right now.
