Hi,

I know there have been some threads about this before, but I just want people to know. If it can help even just 1 person...it's been a good thread.

I started smoking cigarettes when I was 13. I am almost 43 now, so ... 30 years.
Tried to stop a few times before .... didn't work.
I've been using lots of other poisoning and addictive stuff but was also able to quit the habit when it was really needed .... just those cigarettes, I never managed to quit them.
At the moment I didn't smoke for 3 weeks, so I know, I still have a long way to go, but I never believed I would get where I am today.
And the strange thing is.... it was not even difficult!! I am not saying you should do it my way, or my way is the best or whatever, ... no, I just want you to know how I did it!

1) Prepared myself by reading http://whyquit.com/ (!!! )
2) Started to take Zyban 2 weeks in advance
- In Thailand sold under the name Quomem -
3) After two weeks I just stopped.

Of course I felt the urge to smoke sometimes, but actually quit seldom. The medicine took away my lust for cigarettes and the web site with very good articles about the effects of nicotine helps me to stay motivated.

I hope this may help some of you out there who would also like to quit.
Actually, all you have to do is ..... NTAP
( Never Take Another Puff ) :-)
