I quit about 12 years ago after smoking for about 35 years. I tried everything...and always went back. What I did was not to try to stop but for about 2 weeks I kept telling myself that I was committing suicide and kept after myself. One day at work I took the pack out of my pocket and set it beside the computer to sign in for the day, walked out to get started and later that day it dawned on me I didn't have my smokes. I never had withdrawals, shakes or anything. I had broken the mind addiction. There is hope but you have to want to stop.

Well, it feels like I've been smoking forever, but it's really only been 3 years. I started when I was 15.
