   Well, there are alternatives to stopping cold turkey. You could cut your cigarettes in half and just smoke a few puffs of each one and gradually cut down. You could try the nicotine products. you could get the chantix prescription and use that.

   I know that walking and spending time doing things with your hands help. Working on a puzzle or reading a good book keeps your mind on that someting eles than what your hands and mind want.

   with great difficulty. If cold turkey isn’t working for you, try patches or other products to help you cut down and quit. Keeping a diary may help. It sounds cliche, but if you write down how many you smoke at the moment, and make a plan of how you will cut down over the next few weeks or even month or two if necessary. Sometimes its easier to stick to if you write it down because its easy to override a plan in your head than oine on paper cos you can see it and the ramifications are more visible. Good luck, keep trying, try to quit for good, dont think about failing, noly think about beating it. You have it in you, you can win this battle and believe you can do it otherwise you will just cave. It will be worth it. All the best.

   Well, its not easy. The nicotine patches helped me , of course being in a coma for a week helped alot.But if you have a good support system in place, ie. non- smokers, or the help line from the lung association or cancer society,every little thing will fall into place. I will be smoke free 3 yrs. this coming May. God Bless You & Good Luck

   You must decide on it first, ask yourself, do you really want to quit? Set the date & go for it, no more turning back. Just like if you have decided on something & lived up to that decision. It must come from within you and just do it! Good luck!
