I’m struggling with quitting smoking. I smoke my last cigarette in my pack and then say,“I quit!” but then I break down and go buy another pack over and over! How do you keep yourself from giving in?
Keep it up jukebox! If you can do 10 days, you can do 20.
That is great, Jukebox! Keep it up! Think of all the money you’ll save! In New York, Medicaid will reimburse you for the nicotine gum because they want to encourage people to quit. Does Oklahoma have a program like that too?
Congratulations! I think all the time about giving up this bad habit. I’m starting on the 1st of December, but I know it will be hard… Anyway, keep it up! 
Yes, I got my nicotine gum for free from the Oklahoma non smoking program. Nicotine gum is expensive if you buy it at the drug store. I feel lucky. thank you @Ninjastar.
@johnny5 just put them down and don’t pick them up again. Tell yourself if you don’t buy them you can’t smoke them. I pretended that you couldn’t buy cigarettes anymore a little…haha…good luck. never give up.

keep it up buddy! I wish I was your coach through all this. I’d search your place, destroying all cigarette boxes. I’d take every cigarette from your mouth and frisk you constantly for one. I’d even tell all the local stores to not sell cigarettes or lighters to you.
no coach beats a psycho coach

Wow well done!
I am trying to do the same. I put a patch on and they used to work but this time doesn’t seem to be. It’s like this requires willpower or something?
I will stick at it, and maybe I will catch it in the right mood and succeed.
Oooh, maybe someone could try to make me deluded that cigarettes are poisoning me?

Are you being a bit hasty? Give it a month at least.

Yeah I quit the cancer sticks
I think you have to quit to realise how disgusting smoking is and how much hassle and money etc.
Good on you.
