I kind of agree that setting a date is just....daunting. You expect your pack to be gone, and it's not - and "HEY, that's a waste of money so we'll wait until tomorrow". And then the next day, and a week later, you're setting a new date.

Drinking will not be your friend. As sucky as it is, I would recommend just... avoiding it for at least a couple of weeks until you get that mentality that it's too late to go back.

Weaning just doesn't work either. It takes a whole lot more will power for weaning than cold turkey.Cold turkey, point blank - thats the only way.

I did a lot of cherry tomatos, grapes, cherries, lollypops, and things of that nature for the car - driving is your WORST enemy when trying to quit!!! The advice about fruits and whatnot is priceless - it helped me like crazy... well the second time around

I started smoking when I was 15 when a friend passed away. The FIRST time I quit was because I had become pregnant, so that was much easier than just giving up because you want to.

My falling-outs with cigarettes always involves some tragedy - so watch out for times of hardship. I quit for 3 years after becoming pregnant ( and YES! you still get cravings after 3 years!!!), and started again after a very messy, extremely hurtful break-up with my sons father (cheater! liar! lol)

I smoked again for less than a year, and woke up one morning and was like, "**** this" and just stopped that day.

I was good for quite a while, and then a dear friend, one that was part of that circle of "family" you've had since you were tweens, died in a car accident. That got me started again (including everyone else in the group that had quit).

So now Im back to square one - so im kind of glad this thread came up. I didnt know about the juice - that should prove to be useful. My boyfriend smokes too, and wants to quit, so Im not sure how that works ?
