ccinthepark Hi I'm a newbie to the group. My quit date was 10/3/16. I've been using my nicotine patches and gum. I've had cravings on & off but I cleared all the ashtrays & cigarettes from my home. I did get an e-cigarette with 0 nicotine. It helps a lot. I've also stocked up on sugar free lollipops. I'm so happy to be a part of this group! I love the fact that we can support one another as we kick this nasty habit, and also gain support from those who have successfully quit. I look forward to getting to know others in the group. WISH me luck!
