I do have some Nicorette gum I can chew if I need it but I don't use it that much! I also go see a Pharmacist Counselor once a week to talk and to see answer some questions. The program I'm in is a research program here at Ole Miss, it is free to staff and students! Anyway, congrats and congrats to me too!
Oh and I haven't gained any weight either! It's all about knowing the facts!
Definitely congrats to you! Quitting smoking is so much harder than people want to admit!

Good luck to you! I've tried both the gum & the patch once before when I tried to quit smoking a year ago. The gum was pretty gross & the patch made me sick! Make sure you only take the dose that is necessary! The smallest dose of the patch available (that I could find @ the time) was for someone who smoked 5-10 cigarettes a day! And I only smoked 3-4 tops! I was sick for days and I only wore the darn thing for 5 hours!
