I'm on day 1,500 nicotine-FREE and I still have no magic formula to share on how to get where I am. Like all the other vets here, I closed the door on dip and did whatever it took to stay free one crave, one hour, one day at a time. If someone like me who at age 54 had a 30 year can-a-day addiction can do it, anybody can.
I spent most of yesterday sitting with my mother, who is in a hospital with a large blood clot in her right lung. However, I didn't have even the tiniest thought about nor the slightest twinge of a crave for nicotine during the drive down, the time in the hospital, or the drive back. You can achieve the same kind of freedom from nicotine if you want it bad enough and participate on this forum like it is a lifeline to a drowning man - and it is.
