It will be 4 weeks since I had a smoke Saturday. This after 20 years of almost non stop smoking. I am not trying to imply this should be easy but I thought after 3 weeks the cravings would be smaller. I don't think the gum is helping much either. Mainly because I think it is prolonging the addiction (At maybe 5 pieces a week). At any rate maybe at 6 weeks this will start to get easier. I gotta lay off the gum!!!
