One week down.

I'm sitting at exactly one week since I stopped intentionally sucking smoke into my lungs.  Hubby hasn't quit yet.  I believe he's putting off finishing the Allen Carr book until the cigs are gone.  I think there's about a pack and a half left from the carton we bought 10 days ago.  It's been a bit torturous protecting my quit with those so available to me.  I almost feel like he's testing me and it makes me a little bit angry.  He's always used me as an excuse to start smoking again.  Last time we quit for a year and he tempted me with a pack lol.  The thing is I really hate the smell and I really don't want to smoke but my body keeps having these dumb urges.

I really want to go off the nicotine gum because I know the physical cravings won't go away until the nicotine is completely out of my system.  I am chewing 3-4 pieces of gum a day.  How do I know when to stop the gum?  I don't feel like I can while cigs are available because chewing the gum is better than smoking.

Anyone have advice for kicking the nicotine addiction completely?
