Quitting Smoking

Well, after some 26 years, I have quit smoking. Today marks my third day, sans cigarettes. I have not yet killed anyone, gone off my nut and shaved the local squirrel population, or any other form of insanity. This is a miracle large enough to cause me to find religion. God is out there he just hates us all.

Hurrah! Well done, my sincerest congratulations - I hope you can keep it up :)
Incidentally do you have any tips? Because I've been trying to get my friend to give up for some time, and then when she says she wil I've been trying to help her sticka t it, so far with no success.

Until you do get married you won't really understand, but never underestimate the power of a wifes nagging.

My husband quit cold turkey with the use of hypnosis. He had been smoking since he was about 5 every single day, so for like 22 years, anyway, he has been smoke free for like 3 years now. I am so proud. :D There are still days when he wants a cig. though, but he works hard to deal with his stress in another way.

I've quit several times...appearently, I suck at it.
My advice? Pick a good time to stop, not when you're heading into a week you know is going to be hell. Also, when you have a craving, go for a walk or eat something. Being bored and hungry tend to be triggers. If possible, change your routine so you aren't in a habit...so if you always smoked on the drive to work, find a new route.
