MY DECISION TO QUIT! NEED ADVICE!

I decided last Wednesday that after I was finished with the pack that I had that I was just going to cold turkey it.

I have tried patches before, Chantrix, nicorette gum. I really need to quit because it's a nasty expensive habit.

I also have to have some surgeries and smoking makes me an even higher risk.

I have not left the house since Wednesday evening; no car, no money ~~ all to make sure I have no access to cigarettes. I have to say this is the hardest thing I've done in my life. The tobacco company sure knows what they're doing asfar as the addictive agent in it. It's almost a week. I feel very tense, aggitated, aggravated, moody, want to choke someone, etc, etc.

I'm eating lots of hard candy, licorice, nicorette gum, water.

I still have the urges that come and go.

Can anyone give me any suggestions of things that I can do? I really want and need to do this. I feel so weak because it's on my mind. I feel like they have control over me. I want the control back of my life.

Thanks.
