Cold turkey is how I did it (and many others), and it's what I whole heartedly recommend. Pick a date and stick to it..don't dread it coming, instead look forward to it. Once over the withdraws and cravings, you will wonder why you waited so long. It will be as painful as you allow it to be. I looked at it as a great new beginning. I was days away from retiring, and just could not picture myself chained to that addiction as I tried to enjoy my "golden years". :p ok...not really golden yet, but I wanted to be around long enough to enjoy them with my kids/grandkids...and in good health. ....I really did look forward to the day I as no longer addicted. I never dreaded that day! I didn't personally read Allen Carrs "The Easy Way" but many here did and swear by it. So, being this is a group of highly intelligent people, I have to agree with them. :D It has been the main reason for countless quits! From what I understand, as long as you read AND understand what he is trying to say, the road to a successful quit will lay ahead of you. Good luck, and keep us posted. When your day draws near, remind us, and we will offer whatever support we can!

-10 Hey "P"

That's a classic case of romancing the cigarette... You didn't "enjoy" it... What you did was quiet the addiction down. ...your addiction demanded nicotine and when you would sit outside and give in to it, the withdraws were no longer present, making you THINK that you were enjoying the act of smoking. That may not make a lot of sense, but don't ever think smoking is something that made you happy...
