I'm still going strong folks! Switched to an Ecig and it's helped a lot! I can step down and eventually phase out nicotine altogether. I've gained 10 lbs since the start of this post too, which isn't a bad thing since I'm a skinny fellar haha!
I'm not really addicted to the physical side of smoking(putting a cig to mouth/something in my hand) so I'm certain after a week or two of the Ecig without nicotine will be the easy part.
