Some people do well with 'The Patch'. For others Wellbutrin is the ticket.
Can you visualize your typical day without smoking? What are you going to do
at the danger times...those times the urge is strongest? How long have you smoked?
Smoking is more than a nicotine addiction. It is something to do with your hands, in social situations. Find a smooth stone to carry in your pocket or carry gum.
How old were you when you started. The younger you started...14 years old or younger then conjuring up a self image of yourself as a non smoker is harder. Be aware of this and beat the problem with plain old resolve. Tell friends you are going to quit. Make it a public affair. Harder to back down then. Some set a date and quit on that day. Some are cold turkey types and just quit and that's it. Try quitting with someone else so you can support each other.
Best of luck. You can do it!
