Elaine. Like Linda said. One hour at a time.

  What helps me is Lots of water and walking. Turn on the Ipod and just walk and walk as fast as you can. Tires you out and makes you not want a cigarette. After walking I don't even think of a cigarette for several hours.

  Today is 2 weeks for me without a cigarette.

I actually got really lucky. No medication at all. I woke up one morning not feeling well and decided to go back to sleep instead of out for a smoke, and I never went back. It was hard, but got easier day by day, month by month, and now hopefully year by year.
