I was on Day 21 and having terrible craves, and feeling sorry for myself because I thought the craves should be over by now. I was going to give up and go buy a pack of cigarettes and on a whim, decided to Google "how to beat cigarette craves" and found this site. I looked at a few sites, but this one resonated with me for some reason and I spent the rest of the day reading and learning. I promised myself I would keep coming here for one week before giving in. I guess I've over shot that promise by 103 weeks now

My current GP has a special interest in the quit smoking process, and actually consulted on this site back in its original form. I found him because a friend knew he had expertise in this addiction. My GP at the time gave me the following useless advice: "Get some carrot and celery sticks, slap on a patch and you will be good to go." I never went back to him. My current GP didn't mention the site to me, though, until after I had quit, so I didn't have the educational materials or support it provides. I found it about a week into my quit and read the Allen Carr book recommended by so many. It was such an eye opener for me that I continue to recommend it to ALL.
I brought my coffee to my computer and read, blogged and read some more here. I STILL start my days here most of the time! Good addiction to have!!!!
