got an idea to mess with a crave

go to a place that sells many flavors of salt water taffy and have them make you up a pound with all the flavors.

put them in a bowl or bag and if you get a crave reach in and grab one without looking at what you are choosing. put it in your mouth and try to figure out what flavor it is and write down what it tastes like to you.

these aren't labeled so it will keep you guessing and definitely break your crave before it dissolves in your mouth.

do they make sugar free you are asking?  yes they do.

have i tried the sugar free?

NOPE

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
