Hi chartippybum,
Thanks so much for sharing this! Try not to focus on the fact that you had a strong craving, which is so normal. Instead, you pulled through, used your strategies and nrt to not smoke! That is the most important thing of all.
It seems like whatever you are doing is really working for you so keep it up! Even in those really tough times.
susanyw hit a good point: it would be better to fall back on nrt, even after a long time after quitting, where you are only getting nicotine vs. nicotine + thousands of other chemicals from a cigarette.
treepo - you have some amazing distraction strategies here too.
Way to go everyone,
Jenna Lee
