Good luck Dilly
We know you can pull it off
I can't tell ya how many times it took me to give up the gags.
Once I did, I still had cravings for about 5 years.
I loved smoking, the entire ritual, especially the Camel straights and lighting the printed end.
Once you make the decision not to smoke it becomes doable.
I imagine the Allen Carr would be helpful, his book helped me with the drink. Kicking tobacco was tougher imho.
Keep on keeping on..
Carr ended up dying of lung cancer which, whilst tragic, is kinda ironic.
Good on you, Dillinger.
I found that the only way was to never, ever "just have one"....even on really special occasions like Christmas and so on.
Good Luck Dill. I agree though, with any addiction Best is cold turkey and total self discipline. I have never smoked a cigarette in my life so I cannot relate but I did walk away from Alcohol for nearly 14 years. I just woke up one day and was done. It bored me. I am getting close to that stage again. I am having a cocktail or two on Friday night only now and no urges as I walk by my liquor cabinet.
AFAIK the whole Allan Carr thing was basically neuro-linguistic programming.
Nah, in all seriousness... good on ya Dill, for quitting the cigs mate!...
now, if ya can just quit the fags...
I read the Carr book as well...or just over half of it. Woke up one Monday morning in March 2012 and didn't smoke again. I get the odd craving but ignore it, usually do a few lengths of the pool where it's not so easy to smoke.
Twenty a day for 40 odd years to zero overnight and feel a whole lot better for it. Don't bother with patches or any other substitute, just stop.

Willpower went and bought a pack on the way home from work, smoked three.
Baby steps for me..
Just a matter of desire. If you still enjoy smoking giving up will be harder. If you are totally sick of it then stopping is easy. Same with any addiction. People get to the point where continuing is just negative so giving it away is easy. If you still love it then it won't be.
It's an addiction...so most addicts pretty much love it and hate it at the same time.
Have you ever smoked?
Words like 'fun' and 'rush' suggest not.
EDIT: Just read the Koh Chang thread. I remember you now.
With respect, you seem a bit of an idiot.
Same here. Quite surprising how an addicted brain (receptors) justifies smoking as a 'reward' or association with a coffee; driving a car, post-stressful situation, etc. Carr's book was excellent at explaining the addiction, and thus beating it. A genuinely life-changing publication, imo.
Ordered the book
