best way to quit smoking?
Just looking for opinions, I quit awhile ago when I was a pack a day smoker in the last year I gradually went from smoking on occasion to like 5 or so a day most days. I know it will be much easier than my first time quitting, I used lozenges and it helped control me from being angry and feeling so crappy. I tried having one yesterday and forgot how much it makes your throat burn. Anyone know if the patch is any better? I could probably try to keep myself busy but I usually end up smoking cause I start to get depressed by day 2 or 3. Any other suggestions or feedback on the patch let me know.
I actually went out and bought patches but started with last step since I do not smoke often. So far so good I have decided to use the patches I think by then I should be okay I just will not drink for awhile till I really have kicked the habit

Aerin,
There's no best way to quit. Also, everyone is different in the way they stop smoking.
I suggest you to read http://stopsmoking.eu.pn/
The site isn't "elegant" but its contents is ok.
Hope this helps. Regards!

Sounds like you don't want to quit smoking to me. My advice for quitting smoking: I set a quit date 6 months in advance. During those six months, I dropped one smoke per two weeks from my daily habit. By the time I reached my quit date, I was down to 1-2 smokes per day. Getting b*tchy would have been less embarrassing, but I just kept breaking down crying for next to no reason. But it was worth it. I had a flight all the way to Australia. It's a long flight but not nearly so bad for an ex-smoker than it is for a smoker.

the good news is that i now have been quit for over 5 years.. i quit trying to quit alone, and joined a support group.. i attend nicotine anonymous meetings both locally and on line.. on line voice meetings are he as close as your computer, and you can attend while still smoking, before actually attempting a quit.. however you decide to quit good luck, there is simply no wrong way to quit!!

best way support! get who ever lives with you to scream every time you smoke or pick up a cigarette, it doesn't have to be screaming it could be a little pinch, or a punch on the arm even a splash of water. in due time it will become very affective. also you need to find out why your feeling so depressed? theres has to be something that's getting you so down.
