Quitting....again

Awright, I've come to a point in my life where I MUST quit smoking. I've fallen on my ass and can't afford the comfort of a nice, beautiful, tasty, scrumptious carton of Marlboro Reds and that SUCKS. I was able to put off smoking before for a couple of weeks, but I guess this time I must endure the inevitable. I'm broke, and thus I can't afford to smoke.

It doesn't help that I'm an asthmatic, and recently I've taken up jogging. I just remember what it was like the last few times I tried to quit, and ehhhh, I really don't want to deal with that.

Anyone have any helpful hints to curb those high-stress cravings? Please?!? I'd be open to ANYTHING.

    Hi Thomas,

    To be honest I think it's a mental thing, when you REALLY decide to to quit, you can. I done the Hypnosis thing and quit for a year, but the second time I quit it has seem to stuck. I do still want one almost daily, I do not think that will ever go away, but some how I have not had a smoke in well over 2 years now. The second time I quit, I was just driving down the road, and as I was coughing my lungs up, I thought "I am choosing to Die", and although somewhat dramatic, I broke all the cigarettes that I had left one by one and threw them out the window. It has worked so far, everytime I wanted (and still want) a cigarette I think to myself:

    "Is it worth dying for?"

      Hey Jon...thanks, I've been told that a few times, but my problem is that I DON'T want to quit...I have to. It's either smoking or gas in my car, smoking or food in my stomach...:::shrug::: I guess I'll have to figure out something.
