This worked for me.
I smoked for about 10 years and never really wanted to quit. My wife didn't like it so I had to stop even though I thought I didn't want to. This didn't seem like a recipe for success because I wasn't motivated in the right way, it wasn't about me.
I went on a one day course with these people [url=http://www.allencarrseasyway.co.uk/] expecting nothing and for it to be a load of touchy feely bull, but it worked. They say no willpower is required and it's true. I have not even thought about having a smoke since, even when on the lash and in in the presence of other smokers. Its now been over a year, and that year has involved some major stresses too.
It should have been quite expensive (about £250 IIRC) but I paid for it with Tesco Clubcard vouchers. I don't know if they still do that though. IME it is well worth the money and they can be found at various locations throughout the UK (as well as RoW).
However you go about it, best of luck.

I quit cigarettes about a year ago and never looked back. Every once in a while I will break out a cigar but that daily habit of cigarettes is just a memory for me (thank God).
Sometimes I do have that urge to smoke... then I remember how bad my sinuses felt and how much I coughed etc... then I usually lose that urge pretty quick.

Thanked: 267I smoked for years and it took me 5 years to finally quit for good. I only quit when I realized that I was a drug addict. The reason that a lot of people get allergies is that when you smoke it coats everything and the pollen can't make it to the skin to cause a reaction. Not good!
Hang in there you will make it!
Take care,
Richard

quite smoking you can save your life not just for yourself for your family
i used to smoke 2 packs a day.
i quite 5 years ago and used patches for 3 days. Since then never ever touched cigarette.
You may feel bad first months after quitting but then everything will go back to normal.

Good for you, I quit in 98 and never went back. I did use Welbutrin, same as Zyban. I took it for two weeks, quit and stayed on the meds for about 2 months, then weened myself off. Never had the desire to smoke after the first few days, they are the hardest, but it gets easier. I thought if I went out to a bar with friends, it'd be hard, but it really wasn't...Best of luck to you....
