Good start. Cold turkey simply isn't right for the body, especially if you've been consuming the addictive chemical for a *long* time. Best to slowly reduce your intake of the substance to allow your body chemistry to get closer to "normal" again. You didn't mention your smoking habits, but even if you smoked 1/2 a pack a day and went to "two in the last month", that's a huge step, good for you. Hang in there. Chew gum. This can help more than you might think. This can also help prevent the weight gain that often accompanies smoking cessation (people tend to replace nicotine with food, so instead of smoking a cig they have a snack, and you can guess where that leads).
