Day 2 was a doozy

Yesterday was my day #2. All day, I thought I was going to lose my mind. Then, I went to a concert. I was afraid to go because I knew I would slip up.
Sure as shit...I did. I shared a cigar with my boyfriend. It was disgusting but for some reason, I kept smoking it. Afterward, I didn't want to smoke at all. Everybody around me was smoking cigarettes and they smelled really bad.
So, in a way, I don't feel guilty about last night because at least it was not a cigarette....and it helped me to realize that smoking really is something I don't want to do anymore.

On to another subject.
I have been using Nicorrette as nicotine replacement. For a while, it just seemed like it wasn't doing anything at all. That is until my tooth started to hurt. It's weird because I had a root canal done on that tooth a year ago (so I shouldn't be feeling anything) and now that I've been using Nicorette, I have a toothache all of a sudden.

Needless to say, I won't be using it anymore, I guess I'm just screwed.
Has anyone else had this issue?

The fact that you knew you would slip up, well you were setting yourself up. Just quit the nonsense already, you will survive without smoking! I didn't think I'd be able to do it without a NRT, but my quit date came and went, and I just never got around to getting one.LOL. A great book to check out is "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Caar. The title sounds silly, but it really is a great book. Best Wishes Sally, I'm rooting for you!

Thanks, I'm just going without nicotine from now on and holy cow am I feeling the effects. But, I went to a website "Whyquit" and it really helped explain why I am feeling the way I do.
Thanks again for the support!
