    Thats a bit Fight Club of you Roman, Start smoking just to join the team of quitters. Just remember you aren't sobbing on my moob.

    Seriously though if you've only just started, your best quitting while you are ahead, otherwise you'll have months/years of trauma caused by it. (while smoking and quitting)

    well it's been 6 months 1 week and 3 days since i torched a cigarette and i can tell you that i still have craves.
    i can see why the 1 year relapse rates are close to 90%.

    Maybe it might make it easier on yourself if you stopped counting down, so to speak.

    I used Chantix. Started in August, finished the first week of October. Went absolutely crazy until ... um ... about the second week of November. Good stuff, Chantix. Just ... well, coming off it is a bit rough. But then again, I didn't follow my doctor's orders, either. (My bad.)

    thanks to absane i have an applet that sits in my taskbar called silkquit.
    it keeps track of elapsed time since i've smoked a cigarette.
    so was TOR when i first started the thread.
    i quit cold turkey, and some of the mods here have seen first hand how frikken crazy i got.

    I don't have a psychological desire to smoke anymore. In the past I mentioned how I didn't like nicotine, but I missed the actual smoking part itself (playing with the cigg, smoking it, etc). I no longer miss that. In fact, my desire for caffeine and processed sugars is decreasing, too. However, that's very likely because of dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors I am currently on.
