I can understand how difficult quitting is....it is almost impossible to quit if we are not sick or suffer from smoke related disease....but you are holding a ticking time bomb....it is almost certain that you will die from smoking or the least suffer from smoking related effects such as bad skin...shortness of breath....stress....nervousness...etc...i think you already know them... who punishes himself like that...you deserve to love yourself.....love you body.. .it is a gift....take care of it....many do not have that.
i will advise you on the following resources: www.whyquit.com And allen carr"s book called easy way to stop smoking Good luck...keep posting remember to think to yourself if you are still smoking....think.....why do i smoke....how is this fun..what is this offering me.... | ||

Smoking is an addiction like the others.
I smoked for 50 yrs along with drinking & drugs. The 12 Steps of AA/NA got me free of the booze/pills in 1989 and the same 12 Steps helped me to become smoke free since 2005. The smoking/drinking/drugging/gambling/sex etc is just a medication for our symptoms. (if you are an addict/alcoholic of my type) All the best. Bob R -------------------- Serenity Prayer God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. Free copy of AA's Big Book on-line: http://www.aa.org/pages/en_US/alcoh...olics-anonymous Free copy of NA's Big Book on-line: Copy & Paste coastalcarolinaarea.org/literature/books/b_t.pdf AA's HOW IT WORKS: Copy & paste www.aa.org/assets/en_US/p-10_howitworks.pdf NA's HOW IT WORKS: http://www.na.org/admin/include/spa...0it%20Works.pdf ---------------------------------------------------------------- --- driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity. ---there are those too who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders but many of them do recover if they have the capacity to be honest. ... I need AA more than it needs me. --- I fight recovery tooth and nail.... I'm not used to being sane, it just doesn't seem natural. ...... According to the great spiritual teachers, ignorance does not result from what we don’t know; ignorance results from what we think we do know. ---Some think that 2+2=5 and believe it. Some know that 2+2=4 and can't stand it. --- I didn't have a very happy childhood but I sure am having a long one ! ---Dry since 1989 working daily on getting/staying SOBER. ---If you want to drink, that's your business ...If you want to quit, that's AA's business. ... Tell me, I'll forget; ... Show me, I'll remember; ... Engage me, I'll understand. ---Most problems are psychological. Most solutions are spiritual .

There are some wonderful resources on this site. Nicotine Treatment, but check out the Retreats.
I quit using one of their resort like settings and it really worked. Good Luck to you! | ||
