I will cut them back as I go but I need them right now and if that keeps me from lighting up I think it is a positive. Best of luck to you too!

I'm with ya bro. I have been using nicorette. The trick with the cessation aids is to
only use them when you are at breaking point I find. At one point I was more addicted to nicorette than I ever think I was with smoking. However, it is definitely the less of the two evils. Today I made it through the day with three pieces of gum, which is a an all time low.
It is amazing though how ingrained the habit is. I had one of the sales guys come in my office today, that didn't know I quit, and say "Lets go for a smoke." I grabbed my jacket, and was halfway to the door before I said... "Wait a sec..." lol. Just the routine of running out to the back for a few minutes seemed normal. That definitely triggered a piece of gum.
Anyway, into day 10 now. And still holding it together.
And Cecil, I don't think the guys are crapping on you, they are just trying to help you out. I couldn't do what you are trying either. If I lit one right now, I would be done for. Maybe you are a lot stronger than the rest of us, but I cannot find middle ground myself. The switch is either on or off for me.
