Keep at it Evil. You can do it dude...

It took me a few times to quit, but you CAN do it.

Evil, try only smoking when ya really have too. If ya don't kill the habit, at least your taking a bite out of it. I fully understand.

dude i totally understand. i cant even quit smoking and i need to. its the hardest thing in my opinion to quit. think about it... everywhere you go you will see people that smoke. its different then drugs. at least you can get away from people who do that. but smoking, all you have to do is walk out the door and im sure you'll smell someone smoking. but dont think your a looser. just try again when your ready! good luck! keep your head held high, at least you tried.

Dude! Willpopwer has nothing to do with it at all. Willpower is making a decision and then forgetting about the decision in the hopes that the decision is stronger than the earlier decision you made to start smoking.

You must make the decision to quit every day or every hour or as necessary. And then keep deciding not to smoke.

You quit dope cause you had reasons to quit it. You had suffered enough. But you don't need a reason to quit smoking, you just need the decision to quit smoking, over & over.

Me............I'm enjoying one now.........

Hi EvilAngel

quitting smoking was easy, i must have quit 29 times.

but if you get it right just once, you win.

next time your motivated to try again, ask your doctor for a prescription for ZYBAN.

i know it works, as many i know have been able to quit. you supply the willpower and it looks after the cravings.

don't sweat not making it this time, when ready to try again your odd's actually improve, because your more motivated.

good luck.

Do the hypno thing, EA...Make the decision that you NEED to quit and see the hypno. The experience alone is worth it.

EA good luck quiting.
Like the guys and gal said, don't sweat it.
If I were you I would look into the hypnosis and Zyban.
You can do I have faith in you.
Hell you've been through way worse!

I tried Zyban this week.

It gave me major fvcking headaches!!!!

I have to set my mind, and quit cold turkey again I guess. I stayed away from smoking for ten months and started again.

Cold turkey was about four days of pure hell, then after that it got easier.

Few can quit on their 1st try [or even 10th attempt].

If you just keep quitting, you'll succeed eventually.

Cigarettes increase stress, they do not relieve it.

Hi RoundEye

sorry to here Zyban didn't work for you. as your Dr. probably told you, it effects some people in a negative way.

a younglady friend of mine and her mother as well, suffered a rash from it and had to give it up

maybe the patch or something else might help you.

it's the hardest thing i ever had to do.all those years of smoking makes it tough. but if you can, man it sure feels better.

take care and keep trying.

regards minir

so true...

What I ment by the stress part is, I just gave up because I was stressed and basicaly approched the situation in an adolesant mannor.
