    Keep it up! I've watched many friends struggle to break that habit, so I'm glad it's going well for you. :slight_smile:

    Thanks, it's been rough as I have friends that smoke and lots off people at work smoke aslo. so I'm still having to be around it. I think it's gonna stick though.

    You got this. It's hard to stop and kick the habit and its even harder when your friends and other people that you come into contact regularly smoke, but you are nearly there! Your determination to quit, is starting to pay off. :slight_smile:

    That's fantastic. The first week is the toughest as far as the physical addiction. After that, the psychological piece kicks in. A lot of folks have used licorice sticks so they have something to hold in their hands and put in their mouth. Additionally, there are things in the licorice (if naturally flavored) that help to calm and fulfill the desire for nicotine. Keep up the good work!
