Hoping you have better success than Mark Twain.

Good luck to you. Remember quitting is in the brain, so keep your head right and the other stuff will work out. Also those patches do work and they are worth the money.

I quit maybe four years ago. Since then I have had a ton of troubles but I never went back to smoking. That was a good thing because I met someone who absolutely hates it.

All the best to you.

You can do it. It is all in your mind and if you have the right mindset, you can do anything. :)

I feel for you -- I'm also quitting and am in serious nicotine fits

If your mind is made up you are not going to smoke any more the battle is half won.

Lots of luck to you....it's very, very difficult....my hubby has smoked for over 50 years......he tried, and quit, for a few years but then went back.....last year he almost died from an aneurysm......one would think that would get him to quit....NOT!!!! Three weeks after he almost died from the abdominal aortic aneurysm, he was back to smoking (while he was in the hospital our son and I threw out all cigarettes we could find in his truck and throughout the house).....he's smoking more than ever now.
I think that there are so many "addictive" ingredients in cigarettes, that it's just impossible for one to quit, no matter how hard they want to try. I don't even say anything to hubby any more about it.....I know it's a lost cause!

GOOD FOR YOU.

Good luck to you. I know it's not easy.

Good luck. I know a guy who quit 2 years ago by playing a video game. It worked and he's been smoke free since. You can do it

It's hard at first, but it does get easier. I know. I've quit a few times over the last few years. I run now, so I rarely smoke anymore. Once and a while with one of my good friends I'll have one with a cup of coffee. Running is definitely easier without the smoking.
