Don't try to quit thinking about it. That is setting up for failure, in my honest opinion. I had to do the exact opposite. I moved my quit to the very forefront of my life, especially for the first few months. I was QUIT before anything else. Never let you guard down. Nic is s sneaky one. The craves will come along, and the only way to overcome them is to be prepared. I can't be prepared if I'm not thinking about it.
I understand your point. I really do, but learn to embrace it. Live and experience every pitiful, agonizing moment. Those memories will be strong tools to help you stay the course later.
I get your point. What I was referring to were the cravings.
Radman's point is a good one, remember every bit of fog and suck that withdraw brings. As for battling cravings, my recommendations are:
1. fake dip, seeds, mints, gum, whatever helps with the oral cravings
2. Read everything on this site, especially when you are craving. There is a ton of fact and knowledge here for those willing to read it.
3. Live chat - use as needed, a good way to get some immediate interaction with a quitter or two.
4. email/txt a few brothers and whine about a craving. You will get tons of support back and can help each other stay quit.
5. Don't think about forever. You are quit today. That is all. We will quit again tomorrow when it gets here. Break it down to smaller units if necessary, stay quit this hour.
