I will have my 1 year anniversary without a cigarette on November 9th. I smoked for 23 years! I began by cutting down how much I smoked, then I picked a date that was very important to me (the date a loved one passed away; I quit smoking in her honor). Then, I found other hobbies and interests that were not the same as I-d had before (I work out at the gym 3-4 times a week, etc.) I also got a good support group. One friend told me to remember: someday I would have to quit if I didn-t do it this time, and I would have to go through everything I-d already been going through to quit again! It really seemed easier to only have to go through it once. I also had an acquaintance diagnosed with lung cancer around the same time, so this helped me see the damage that I could be causing myself. I also did order a low cost hypnosis CD from ebay I believe and listened to it a couple of time (not sure if this helped or not, but it definately didn-t hurt). It was definately tough to quit, but you are already through step one: your words tell me so: -Stop them nasty cigarettes- just the disgust tells me that you are ready to quit. Look up on the smoking cessaton websites and lung cancer sites how your lung tissue regenerates and in about 10 years how you can have healthier lungs again (I also read that eating broccoli helps regenerate lung tissue in people who quit smoking).
Quitting is really tough for the first 2 weeks during withdrawls. You will still have some cravings for about 6 weeks. If you can get through the first 1 1/2 months, the cravings will decrease steadily until you no longer crave them everyday. If you make it to 90 days.. you can quit for a life time.
GOOD LUCK!I was smoking for 7 years, I used -nicotene relief- - it is an herbal supplement that has a bark of a tree in it that makes your brain respond kind of like nicotene, so it-s like a patch, without the nicotene. I took them on a regular basis - I think it says once every 4 hours, and when I got a craving. That takes care of the physical part. The physical addiction only lasts about a week.
The mental is harder. I used counting. A craving only lasts about 5 seconds in your body, but your brain will hold onto it, so whenever I wanted a ciggarette, I started counting, slowly in my head, I would even close my eyes if I could at first. When your mind drifts to some other subject, the craving is gone and you can move on. I started at about 120, then after about a week I was down to 20 or so and stopped. My friend told me to try this and it worked really well.

This is the product I used, but it used to come in pills - if you prefer that, you just need to find a product with -lobelia- in it - that is the bark you need.You can buy pills, patches and gum. They may or may not work. I smoked a long time and was up to three packs a day. I just quit. You must really want to stop. Have the will power to quit.Chantix. It-s far more effective than anything out there.
