Trials & Tribulations of a Quitter (the mint ones are better)

Well, today in less than 2 hours I will have quit smoking for 2 weeks. I survived one of my closest friends (we normally take our lunch break together and smoke and drink coffee) and I also survived my brother, although it was only for a couple of hours. Those 2 situations are when I normally cave.

Some days have been pretty hard, I have to admit, but the cravings for a smoke don't last too long.

I'm using about 7 pieces of gum on average a day (the pack says I can use up to 20, but recommends 8 - 10). Basically, this saves me about $25 a week at this stage... in 10 more weeks, I'm supposed to be looking at cutting the gum back, so it'll save me a lot more then.

Incidently, the mint flavour, I will highly recommend. It's probably still crap, but after the washed-out-orange-flavoured-vitamin-C-tablet flavour (laughably referred to as 'Citrus'), it's sensational. I haven't yet braved the horrors that may await me with the 'Original' flavour... with any luck it'll be like Original Hubba Bubba, but I think I'm being a little ambitious smiley - winkeye
