:) yeah, you just have answered the question in your discussion! guess there is definitely nothing and no one who can make you stop smoking but you yourself. guess you just have to discipline yourself and try smoking lesser sticks in a days time, the until you could just smoke a few sticks in a weeks time. i smoke myself too, but am never a big smoker.. i smoke when i feel down, but i can live the day without it too. during weekends, am just home. and when i am home i cannot smoke, but it doesnt bother me or anything, it's my choice too, it's the only time of the week that i can rest my lungs so why would i fret about it.. i should even be thankful that their are week ends in my life or i will be dying earlier!:) but i believe am not sticking to this vice. i promised myself that am gonna quit.. when i will have my own kids, guess that's a pact that i and my boyfriend made a year back, and i know we are keeping it.. we should be!:)

Good Advice, austere. The good things that has happened this week is that im so busy rambling about my smoking habits here at mylot that sometimes I forget to smoke..ahahah. Now, its that not therapy, i dont know what is. I also bought a nicotine patch but its expensive...

yep.. nicotine patch could be helpful... at least you know what the problem is.. that the start to having it solved! just focus on the solution that you would want to achieve. if you willed it then it's not far from happening! i wish you all the luck! and i wish your lungs too!hehe

We have the same problem my friend, i don't think if you smoke heavier than i do. I have started the same discussion earlier and i have some good point to consider. just look at my discussion, good luck to both of us.
