Hi,
I did the nicorette for 6 weeks and then did regular gum. I also knitted a sweater to keep my hands busy. You could try to carry the nicorette just for emergencies until you get off of it. I think you are probably still addicted to nicotine, but at a lower rate. It really will work if you gradually taper off.
Good luck,
Susan TG
PS it's been 16 years this month, if I can do it anybody can!

I can't remember for sure whether it's 17 or 18 years for me --- but I do recall that my first cigarette free day was August 17th.
I didn't think I'd ever be free of the habit since I was a 2-pack-a-day hacker, but I made it and am forever thankful.
