Thanks, Sue. I'm just sick of it, and a little sick FROM it. I'm quitting before I seriously screw up my health irrevocably. Sick of the slavery, sick of the expense, sick of the litter and filth and stink of it... I'm just sick of it.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
I want you to know how much I appreciate your transparency and honesty in the fight -- that is a huge thing psychologically when we quit BS'ing ourselves and are real to others. Keep fighting the good fight!
The dogma lives loudly within me.

Thank you, IT. I'm going to fight this thing tooth and nail until I succeed. I'm so ashamed of trying and failing so many times... I'm disgusted with myself. Time to man up and get it done.

A trick I found worked after a week or so is when you get the really intense cravings, remind yourself that it's only going to last 5 minutes or less..... It took a while before I realised the really horrible craving is actually pretty short-lived, so abject misery is soon forgotten.

Hence my "wait 10 minutes" rule. 9 times out of 10 an hour or more passes before I think about smoking, so another 10 minute wait has to be invoked.

It really does work.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.
