I'm actually okay. Haven't gone crazy. I'm trying to keep my mind focused on other things. It seems to be working. I have, for the last 2 days, gone on a walk at work for 20 minutes. That really helps. I do think about it occassionally but I have been able to get over it. I just take deep breaths or try and read something. I have been chewing sugarless gum and Lifesavers mints during the day. It keeps my breathe fresh and it distracts me too. I started on Sunday and I used the Nicotine gum. Then I was reading a book by Allen Carr called EasyWay to stop smoking and he made a point that smoking is a nicotine addiction and not to use a nicotine replacement because you are just feeding the addiction by another form. So I didn't take the gum on Monday and I have still not had a cigarette. So, so far so good. I'm hanging in there. I hope you find the strength, which I know you have to keep the eye on the prize. Which is a happier and healthier life without cigarettes. I look at it this way, the grass is greener on this side.
