in need of help

[jasone]

hey everyone. i have been smoking more than a pack of cigarettes a day for almost three years now.  i have tried quitting more times than i can count but want this to be the last time.  about two months ago i quit for 10 days and was so proud of myself.  the first five days were pretty tough, but after that it wasnt too bad.  on the tenth day i was really stressed and went back to my pack of marb reds.  the thing that is holding be back is fear that the cravings and dependency will never go away.  i know that i can do it if i know the cravings and dependency will eventually stop.  if anyone has any advice i would really appreciate it.  tomorrow i will hopefully be an ex-smoker for good!! thanks for the support everyone and wish me luck!

I know exactly what you are going through. I have been down that road myself a few times. I tried patches and they worked for the most part. After about two weeks I thought I could go with out. Well I made it a couple of days and the confidence took over. That little voice in the back of my head keep telling me that one won't hurt. I picked smoking right back up. I had enough of "trying" to quit so this time around I did things my way.

     For two weeks I kept telling myself that I was going to quit new years day. So I smoked one at 11:45 pm on New Years Eve and I havn't smoked one since. I quit cold turkey. So if I can do it so can you. It just takes will power and you have to want to quit.

              Good luck!
