    Doing it for good right now and I'm as shirty as hell. On day 2 of none at all, I have the famous book that helps you quit and that does help.
    I keep wanting one, then telling myself I also want a Porsche and that ain't gonna happen either. Actually its a constant argument inside my own head but I'm gonna win it.

    I'M NOT going to die and leave my babies behind.

    Good luck xoxoxo

    You just have to want it enough. If you don't really want to you won't. There is no trick just pure will power.

    When did you give up Leonie? Was it pure willpower that got you through? I'm sure I have enough...I think!

    Self hypnosis CD's and cold turkey.

    I just decided after umpteen methods that I wasn't going any further in life as a smoker.

    Picking a work day worked best for me so that is was a day when I would be tempted most. I also stopped on April fools day 2 years ago so some joke!

    Never looked back no matter how yummy the smell of a smoke is.
