it'll be tough but I've done it before. and the reward will be much greater than being an addict.

That sucks. I've smokes casually for 2 years or more, but just started buying my own the last few months. I never have more than 3 smokes a day, unless I go out drinking. One pack can last me a week easy. I don't get cravings, I just get bored then go have a smoke.

I strongly suggest reading the book, Alan Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking. It really sorts out the psycological withdrawl quicktime which overides the use for willpower. Good luck

That's pretty much the same for me, the more bored I am, the more I smoke.Unless, I'm drinking, in which case I pretty much just chain smoke. Can't smoke first thing in the morning either, makes me feel sick.

I suggest that you tear those remaining 3 ciggs to peices over top of the toilet!
I smoked for about 5 years, but have been fully quit now for 2 years. I did the "just one more day" bit for pretty much the whole 5 years that I smoked...it never did work.
It didn't work because I didn't want to quit...if I had really wanted to quit I wouldn't have needed "one more day".
So in the end, when I did quit, that's what I did: watched my hands tear apart my last 1/2 pack of smokes over a garbage pail. It has a much more definite feeling to it than saying "just one more day"

Amazingly enough out of all the different substances I've put in my body, I've never bothered picking up a cig habit. Don't let them get the best of you, good luck!

For retards? Well, I honestly don't understand why people do it at all... the only reasons I hear is because "something to do", "calms them down", or because it makes them seem classy or stand out.

yeah, I know exactly what you speak of. I bummed a cigarette off a friend after a few hardships hit me at once - after not smoking for 2 years. I said "just one - and that'll be it." Not long later, I was back up to a pack a day. Last 2 months I've been handrolling to save money - now that's harsh on the body.
My tobacco is gone now. and that'll be it. I spent the day riding my bike around whenever I am that aerobically active the last thing I want is to inhale carbon monoxide. Perhaps I'll just ride my bike whenever I get a craving

If you want to get into shape, maybe you should wear some expensive jewelry and go over to Gary, IN. Walk around for a while and people will start to chase you and try to shoot you to get your stuff. You should get in great shape from that.
P.S. Gary is a SHITHOLE!!!!!!!!!

well..and what if you fall in another problem or another heart-break and decide to start all over again. This way you'll never really be able to quit completely. Problems and heart-break are part and parcel of our lives. You aren't alone, we all face problems, go through tough situations and at least one heart-break(if not more) in our lives. But you have to be determined not to smoke whatever come or go ..only then you'll be able to give up smoking permanently.
