My uncle had a serious kinda heart attack and he quit. Right there and then. Don't know how he did it. He was addicted to it quite severely, several packs. Its been three years and he hasn't smoked since then. Not scaring you or anything. But you are already quitting anyway. Keep it going
Listen to relaxing music.
My mum quit, cold turkey lasted about 3/4 years then she started again (most likley because my dad never quit) and funerals and things well *shrug*
Anyway I rember she did it with this website.. and they had you do projects and things for every period of time...I think I rember her saying that the first 7 months are the worst because it takes that long to get the nicotine out of your system.
Anyway not quite the same but Ive found the best way to cure myself of certain habits is to keep your hands busy, took up sewing, quit=ing , crochette, embroidery ( theory being as long as my hand s are busy doing something they cant be busy snacking. And itt worked.... till I went to uni and didnt have room for the sewing stuff so started back again with the crisps.

Ok, here's what I think. You are what, 15 or 16? You go to school full time and smoke three packs a day?? Where are your parents? After reading your threads, posts, and blogs, I find it hard to believe you have any. I smoked for a very long time and couldn't fit three packs a day into one day even when I was home with the kids. There's just not enough time. Sorry, but that's my thoughts.

Hi,
I smoked from 12-13 years until 3 months after my 18th birthday. I worked in a restaurant, and every Sunday I saw a little old lady and her husband come into the restaurant for lunch. Trailing behind her was the oxygen tank to which she was now attached for the remainder of her life. After seeing her pull off her oxygen to light up a couple of times, I was dumbfounded that she could still be addicted with her breathing problems. On Feb 15, 1998, I decided I was finished. I threw away the pack of cigarettes I had just opened along with the lighter and swore I was finished.
Later that day, I discovered that one of my close classmates (I was a senior in a very small high school) had committed suicide, and it was one of the most difficult times for me. I didn't pick up the cigarettes. I stood by my pact with myself and stood strong to ME. The emotions were terrible, the majority of my friends and co-workers smoked as well, but I wouldn't light up again.
It will be 10 years in February.
If you really want to do it, you can. Just put them down, and stick by your word.
Good Luck!
My point exactly in post # 30 in this thread: When you see things like that and possess even a tiny bit of imagination it is likely to make you quit or prevent you from starting to smoke.Originally Posted by otare

Hang in there. I have seen withdrawal enough times to understand that it is a bear, but it will get easier soon. Well done.

I did it with nicotine plasters. I smoked about 30 cigarettes a day for 30 years and I quitted smoking last May.
can you recommend a good brand of nicotine patches? I tried it once, but it sucked. I smoked light cigarettes anyway even while the patch was on...
Take your mind off a problem and come back to it later.
...still clean....
still in withdrawl thou.

You shouldn't do that, it is a double dosis of nicotine and your addiction grows stronger then.
I used nicorette, but I think there will be no difference. I smoked "Schwarzer Krauser", by the way — anyway, I had really difficulties with breathing and I told myself, stop smoking or choke one of these days. I gained weight, though …
