Don't wait @Pilgrim you are only prolonging it and waiting a day or two isn't going to make it easier. We all know what you are going through. For a successful quit, I truly believe that YOU must want it and you must be ready, BUT, the longer you wait won't help you get ready. It's kind of like jumping into a pool....you know that it might be cold at first, but after the initial shock of the cold water, you realize that's it's not so cold as it first was and it's easier to tolerate the water the longer you stay in the pool. And after a while, you get totally used to it! Take the jump @Pilgrim, either you want to quit or you don't, and if you do, you need to follow everyone's advice on here. I won't sugar coat it, and I'm not trying to be harsh or mean, but we know exactly what you are going through and the only way is to JUMP RIGHT IN AND GET RID OF THE CIGARETTES!!! Find something else that helps you when life gets tough! Unfortunately, life is always going to get stressful at times. Are you going to keep quitting and going back, every time you get stress, not to mention going through horrible withdrawal? I really hope the answer is NO. I was SO addicted, you can't imagine how much I was! I always used to dread going to places where it was difficult for me to find a place to smoke and there were very few places. I don't know how it's in Germany, but here in NYC, it's very hard to find smoking places. Good luck, you can do it!
