Keep up the good work. I quit smoking cold turkey at 3-1/2 packs a day (a 7 year smoker). You couldn't even look in my direction the first week or I would either scream at you or start to bawl. I had physical withdrawel (dizziness), lost my concentration - and decided each day that I had lasted this long and no cancer stick was going to stop me now. Eventually, things got better. I found that I needed to change my routine (I used to come home from work and read the paper and have a cig. I stopped reading the paper for 6 months and went outside and did yard work instead.)

If I could do it, so can you. Just think of your friend and know that is not the way you want to die.

Good luck..

You are so right on the routine change. I liked to stop for a cold one or two after work but quit that, too. Vacuum out the car and try to get the cigarette smell out if you can. Remove ashtrays from the house and maybe shampoo carpet (you'd be surprised at how much tobacco is absorbed in your furniture, carpet, drapes, etc.
