If it feels awful/tastes bad it is probably good for you, that is what they say when forcing fish oil to my mouth :roll:

I would think that keeping your mind busy with other things is helping too, you kind of forget to miss smoking :lol:

Sounds like classic withdrawal symptoms to me ... Your body is craving the stuff.

Don't give in!

You're doing a good job. Keep on going, the symptoms you show will dissappear again.

Good work there fella.

(btw, it's called quitting or stopping. It's NOT giving up anything, as there is nothing to sacrifice. ;))

Have you regained you sense of taste yet?
