Quitting Smoking

So quitting sucks. I've noticed withdrawal symptoms like being a little retarded and irritable. But something I've read about is that cold turkey is the worst as far as success rate. I think I'm going to try some habit replacement techniques to help. I'm quitting really just because of the baby. In a few weeks Lydia enters her last trimester, when the baby's brain develops the most, and smoking during this period increases the chance of cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, etc. So I'm trying to do my part to help. In addition I don't want to be a smoker once the baby is born because of 2nd hand smoke. So hooray so many reasons to quit, but one really grumpy person quitting. Oh and incidentally two big symptoms of nicotene withdrawal, weight gain and insomnia, yeah I got those in spades.
