thanks guys i'm trying to quit myself and all your suggestions are very
helpful

Mind over matter,,,Grasshopper...M.

I did the count down thing after the first time of quitting cold turkey
and getting in a fight for something stupid. I really hurt the guy and
the 3 friends that tried their best to get me away from him. One of the
friends lit a smoke and put it in my mouth. I was smoking 2 packs a day
and tried to quit cold turkey. So the first week I forced myself to not
get any more than one pack. The next week I took it down to 1/2 pack
which did not work out to well(with draws so bad I had a few over) so I
extented it another week. Then it was down to 4 a day and this is when I
took to chewing on tooth picks. After a week of 3-4 a day I quit.

I still puff on cigars from time to time. Not very often but I found
myself smoking a couple this weekend with all the stress the ex put me
through. That is the bad thing. I used them to calm me down instead of
just enjoying the flavor. I normally smoke a cigar about once every 2-3
months. I do not smoke in the house or around my kids.

used to smoke two pack a day--then quit for six and half year then went
back to three cig a day for the last four year, don't remember the
reason why i'm smokin' again--maybe the drinkin' issue

but good luck,bro

Are there actually people on this planet who are currently "SMOKEING?"

Call your best friend when you feel like lighting up and vent and talk
about WHY you have to have it...then you will forget about wanting it,
you'll be touching base with someone that wants to talk to you and
prolonging the urge at the same time

well I wanted to talk to "S.C.G." about helping me to quit smoking
too,,,but...?...M.
