I have quit smoking 14 days today?

Question:

Have you quit smoking? How did you stay quit? What tips can you give me as my cravings are very big. I am not using patches or anything as I want the nicotine to flush out of my system.

Answers:
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
Kudos, well done!!!
I quit 10 yrs ago. Gum helps, but I used the patch, it didn't really help. One of the things I learnt is the habit is harder to break than the addiction.
It helps if you change your actions around the times you most want to smoke. Go for a walk after meals. Every time you feel like a cigarette have a big glass of water.
You can do it.
YAAA!!!! GO GO GO.
Cheering helps, share every day with a friend or family member, someone on your side.
Beware of smoking dreams, every quitter I have talked to gets them. You wake up thinking OMG I went out and was smoking last night. You get very angry with yourself and sad too. Then before Your foot hits the floor you realize that you stayed home last night. Then your relieved and amused.

Kudos again for your accomplishment.

My son helped me to quit, he told me he didn't want me to die..worked for me. I replaced the cravings with my favorite gum and getting active, it helps to keep the mind off of it.
