I'm 1.5 years from my last cig.  The first month SUCKS.  After that you'll start feeling a whole lot better.  You have to keep on working through the urges.  You'll dream of smoking cigs, and wake up angry at yourself for breaking down.  You'll get angry for no reason.  You'll smell a smoker from 50 feet away and get a craving.  DON'T GIVE IN!!!!

Accept the fact that it's gonna be tough for a bit.  That makes it so much easier.  There's no shame in using a patch, gum, or snus to help you get through it.  Nicotine is still nicotine.  You have to beat the cig before you beat the drug.  

Trust me, it can be done.  I went batS#$% insane because I didn't realize what I was actually going through.  Luckily, my dad quit at the same time, leaving me with no option but to stick it out.  

Talk to people, stay busy, and EVERY time you get angry....   WALK AWAY!!!  In a couple of minutes, that feeling WILL go away.

If you need some outside help, PM me.  I'll be glad to help (as I'm sure alot of folks here would be as well).

Best wishes,
Jager

Any kids?

I have a suggestion that you might find interesting.

Put a picture of them on the front of an empty cigarette packet and take it with you.
When you get the craving, pull it out and remind yourself why you're quitting.

For them.

If not, disregard, listen to the ones with experience.

Hi
Smoking is hard to kick and i did it with electronic cigarettes i was so impressed as now run it as a business and i can tell you that in the first year i have helped over 2000 aussies kick the habit.

I also lost my best friends wife to champix and my now wife lost her last boyfriend to the same sort of drug zyban and i can tell you first hand (as i dont sell OS) that these drugs are not the way unless all else fails as in my small world i know of 3 dead people that tried to give up smoking.

My site has lots of videos that show you the products and explain it www.evpae.com.au but like i said you will need to find a US or UK site to buy from as i dont send OS buts its all the same.

1. buy a kit around $30 should last around 3 months, and buy nico juice from places like heath cabin (google that) and your on the way to a easy way to give up.

I still vape and love it even when drinking (every night)

Best thig i ever did and i can vape inside , pubs, clubs , planes and almost anywhere and like gum etc drop your nico levels or do it with nico tasting juice and be free in days.

Yup, it's hard, Junky.
My only suggestion is to do whatever works for you. I just threw them away and did it on nothing but organic will power. Others may need to use some "method." You make it a month and I think you'll have it licked.

I don't know anyone who has quit who has said, "You know, I wish I hadn't quit smoking..."

 Good luck!

Ive never understood cigerette addiction. I smoke, but ive never felt "compelled" or addicted. Ive gone months without a smoke and never had anything more than a slight craving for one. A pack usually lasts me a month.

IS it?
Think about your problem. your trying to quit smoking.
Therefore, to quit something you need to discover what keeps drawing you back to smoking in the first place. Find out what makes you so addicted.

You may say its the nicotine, but is it? you say your "moody". could it be that you smoked to calm your nerves? social thing? peer pressure that you wish to get rid of?
Maybe the best way to quit, is figuring out why you smoke, then finding something else that does the same thing cigerettes do for you. but safer.

Like if you smoke to calm your nerves, find something else that calms your nerves just as good, or even better.
Social thing? just dont hang around your friends when their all lighting up. or just tell them your trying to quit, and ask them to reframe from smoking around you for the time being. their friends. they will understand.
If you believe you simply smoked due to the nicotine however, there are many items on the market to help with that.

-Identify the problem. (smoking)
-identify why you wish to quit smoking.
-identify why you started smoking in the first place, and why you continued too.
-Find a replacement for cigeretters to satisfy the reason why you smoke.
-stick with it. And eventually the cravings will go away.

Kid, you're so full of BS that you simply can't find room for spelling or grammar. Just STFU and go away.

You know nothing of the topic, and you're even trying to be like Penguin.

Quit whoring attention.

oh yea? then prove my logic wrong. how about YOU STFU and not turn this into a pursefight. because the last two you attempted to start with me did not at all go your way.

Why don't you go ask your ship mechanic and blackhawk pilot step-fathers whats the best way to quit smoking? bet they'll know just as much on the subject as they would on the flight mechanics of a vintage ww2 aircraft that you tried to pass off. do.not.start.with.me.
