Wow. I feel like crap!

Quit cold turkey 7 years ago and believe me you will be much better off, health wise and financially. It's rough going for the first three weeks but gets better from there on. I did use nicorete gum for the first week and seemed to help. The key to success is that you really want to quit. Once you get a week or so under your belt, the stubborn streak kicks in and you refuse to give in to the cravings. Keeping busy with something helps as well. Good luck to you and your wife. You both are doing the right thing.
