lava, I wish you the best of luck while you try to kick the habit.
I think different coping methods work differently for different people. If you're comfy with smoking less and less, maybe a patch would work? Slowly withdrawal from the nicotene.
I'm very anxious when I don't smoke. When I quit...I was very nervous the first few weeks.
I quit 12 years ago.
Two things helped - 1. don't keep renegociating the decision. Once you quit, tell yourself it's DONE. The decision has been made and there's no turning back on it. If you keep re-deciding if you want to quit or not, sooner or later you will decide not to, and all it takes is one cigarette to destroy all the progress you've made. 2. Make the difficulty of quitting work FOR you. Feel that discomfort, focus on it, and use it to convince yourself that you NEVER want to have to go through this again! I'm a stubborn person, and I found that I could use that stubbornness to help me quit. No matter how badly I wanted to smoke, my tendancy toward defiance would help me defy that urge. For once in my life this hard head of mine could be useful. *smile*
