I still cheat A smoke here or there when I've been drinking, but I don't count the may 3-4 smokes I'll have in a month when I'm super wasted.
I should have that habit even worked out soon enough, and I can notice myself holding back more and more even in those situations now.
I found the inhaler to be great because it replaced the oral fixation, and the need to be flicking something around between my fingers. For the first week I probably had that inahler in my mouth 16 hours a day, but eventually you start working it away.
Gum never worked for me, cold turkey I've made work (though is tarted again withn a couple months) but it was damn near painful, and it turned me into a raging asshole for a at least the first week. Not so much with the inhaler.
