" awwwwww sorry. Quitting is very hard. Could you talk to your Doc about prescribing Chantix for you. Apparently that is really helpful. It stops you craving so much and make the ciggies taste yucky too.
I used the nic patch
Just keep trying Honey cos we have all tried quitting a lot of times
hugsssssss Deb "

" You may want to wait till you have some time off from work so you don't have to be around the temptation all of the time. It is very hard in the beginning some can do it even when their spouse smokes so it can be done but not everyone is that strong. I know I could not be around smokers at all the first week and I stayed away from all convenience stores. Do some reading here. Allen Carr's book the easy way to stop smoking is very helpful in getting your head around the mental part of the addiction. Good luck!!! "
