I've been smoking since 12 yrs.old now 26,I need real help not just someone I could talk too..my son has been praying for me to stop I have actually been praying myself but the urge is stronger then our pryaers. I go on sites and they ask me info. refers me to support groups,I don't think talking about it will help any... as I write these couple of words it makes me want to go fetch one. so quickly I return to the main course. WANTING TO QUIT.....

I've taken a course to learn how to hold smoking cessation classes. You've got the best thing already....WANTING TO QUIT.
If you can hold off the first 3 days, you've got the hard part over with, according to most who quit. ALL symptoms should be gone in a couple weeks.
Just keep trying. I personally recommend the "cold turkey" method because if you use a product to help you stop smoking that contains nicotine it will continue supplying your cravings for nicotine, prolonging the process. If you can find a stop-smoking product that does NOT supply nicotine in any way, it's probably safe.
Try to distract your urge-most of them won't last more than a few minutes. Try:
Chewing some gum
Go for a walk
Take a shower (one place it's difficult to smoke!)
And anything else that will distract you!
You can make it!
P.S. I'll email you with more info if you're interested. Add to your post saying so, if you want.

The best thing is to stop suddenly like I did. Not even finish the pack. There's no real easy solution, you just need alot of will power. Try substituting with something you really like. If there is a sweet you love have one or two every time you fancy smoking. Treat yourself to what you want instead of one. It's worth a try. Good luck! There's no point cutting down either. It doesn't work.
