You're Doing It Wrong.

Take The Emotions Out Of Quitting.
Use Common Sense And Logic To Succeed.

      When emotions are overcoming you, stop them by saying to yourself
"I quit smoking, I'm going to be uncomfortable for awhile."

In that way you've accepted the discomfort and put the blame on smoking instead of on quitting smoking.

      If you do that for a week, you will understand why we tell you it gets better and, be better able to move forward successfully.

We lay out the whole process for you with the pitfalls and obstacles and how to overcome them, why keep smoking?

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
