Change your routine and make certain you have something else to occupy your time during the times you most enjoyed smoking. My best cigarettes are after a meal, so when I quit smoking, I immediately kept busy by cleaning up the kitchen.

I was one of the stupid ones though. After three years without a cigarette, I thought it would be fine to smoke with a friend. I am now back to a pack-a-day ultra lites. Sometimes I really want to quit, most times I don't -- and I know that I have to really want to quit to be successful.

I made that same error some years ago (read down the thread, it's in there)
when you decide to quit, may it be a final choice.

I quit cold-turkey in 1988 and stayed smoke-free until 2000...after living in NYC for 3 years I think anyone would start smoking again...lol! ;-)

Well, I just quit again (this time for good) I went from Marlboro Ultra-lights to Quest #1 to Quest #2 and smoked a couple of Quest #3 (those things will make anyone quit).

I didn't wait until I wanted to quit...I started weaning myself off the nicotine, at 42 I need to get in the gym and start taking care of myself again.

Good luck all on giving up the Nico-monster.
