I am also an ex smoker that took only about 1,600 attempts to quit. I was such a raving "you know what" by day three that my husband actually bought me cigarettes to calm me down. I admitted defeat and went on the anti depressants that work for quitting smoking. It kept the anxiety to a manageable level so I could focus on not smoking (Husband said that I wasn't a raving.....while using the meds). I also chewed the gum (LMAO for 2 and 1/2 years). I have been "clean" for 8 years. Knowledge isn't the key....I was an ICU nurse during part of my smoking career. Good luck to all of you trying to quit....hardest thing I ever did.
