I smoked for 20 years and I went to prison (really) and had to quit cold turkey and it was really hard it's been a year and 6 months and I still want one. I would not do it that way by choice. But I refuse to smoke another ever due to the fact it was so hard.The truth is put your trust in the Lord and He will be your strength He is mine.

I have tried many things to stop. I smoked 3 packs a day. I smoked so much it was more than my car payments every month. The best program I have used is the "quit smokin right now program" http://tinyurl.com/yag6v4
They helped me go cold turkey and never look back. In fact, I can have a cigarette now and not want another one. That's how great it works.
I used the patch as well, and didn't smoked for 2 months but had headaches every day. the mental part is hell, no question. what worked for me is chewing big red gum, (no other flavor helped, kinda strange), and changing your habits. if you normally wake up and smoke while drinking coffee, take a walk instead and have coffee when you get back. you really have to do something totally different at those times when you would normally be smoking. it's hard to do, but someone told me that the mental craving of a cigarette only lasts for 7 minutes, so, if you can get past that 7 minutes, it'll be easier! I suggest you invest in yourself and then put the money you are saving into a jar and watch it grow, then buy yourself a nice reward for quitting. good luck to you!

have you tried the pills from your doctor, Zyban or Ziban. it works, if you want it to. it was initially an anti depressant, and found people quit smoking, it is worth a shot.
