I finally quit smoking

Way to go Pornrex...I feel for ya.

Tomorrow marks one week smoke free for me. Having tried unsuccessfully to quit via many ways in the past, I finally figured out what I 'thought' would work for me...and so far so good.

I got Zyban from my doc, then after taking it for 2 weeks, I went to a hypnotherapist.

I have to say this has been my most painless quit attempt ever. I'm not tempted at all, even when around smokers. My cravings have been minimal (and I know the Zyban is really helping there). I have a cd from the hypnotherapist that I'm listening to each night, she recommended I do so for 2 weeks, so another week to go.

I think the most important msg is in two parts...you cannot, and will not, quit until YOU are ready to do it for YOU. Attempting to quit for any other reason is doomed to failure from the beginning. Secondly, there are many many methods/aids/programs that people use to quit. Find what will work for you, and never give up on quitting.
