Tony,
Congratulations on 43 days! Wow, that's awesome to see your numbers.
You can set up your quit meter by clicking on the SSC Quit Meter link on the left hand side of this page and following the instructions that pop up. Once you've downloade the meter, it will automaticaly appear on every post if you check off the box in the reply window that says "Show my Quit Meter". Don't worry about being good at this stuff, be happy you are good at not smoking...that's the important thing here.
You should feel good, great, wonderful, proud and extatic about not smoking for 43 days. :)
I understand it's not at all unusual to have times when we suddenly have cravings or thoughts come out of the blue (I've been lucky it hasn't happened to me). Were you using NRT gum as a quitting aide? If so, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you make any changes or have any questions. Some of our members who've used the gum may offer their thoughts.
Just keep taking it minute by minute, hour by hour and it will get easier. Keep posting, you can do this and the good people here will help you in any way they can.
Pat
