I've been doing OK w/ the NRT. I combined the gum w/ regular gum and then began to sometimes not have the nicotine gum, just the regular gum (placebo effect). I've been smoke-free since August 8th. I started LCing on Jan 17th.

I'm still using the NRT, but in much smaller quantities. I hope to get rid of it entirely in the coming few months.

Try different things - maybe cold-turkey & then buy some NRT if you find yourself standing in the store getting ready to buy cigs.
