You lucky, lucky bugger. I wish I could have lost weight. Although I didn't start gaining until 6 months in. Long may the lack of weigh gain reign!

The nicotine part is no problem for me to kick. For whatever reason, I never was hooked on that. The hand-mouth thing may prove to be a bit harder.
Ideas?

One of those plastic inhalator thingies might help. It's what helped break the hand to mouth habit for me. In the end I didn't even need the nicotine cartridge, just the plastic bit. It took weeks rather than months to break the habit. I liked that it didn't look like a ciggie so was helping break visual cues too.
Woohooo StillettoDoll. You can do it and you won't relapse unless you want to. As I keep saying, there are no reasons to start smoking again, only excuses. You're starting from a good point in that you don't enjoy smoking and you don't smoke much but I bet those habitual ciggies are still hard to give up.
I hope ya'll keep us updated on your progress. You'll find us great cheer-leaders
