Hi Leonard,

'Ralfph, Actually, I’m grrre-at at quitting smoking. I do tend to go about some things in a rather elaborate fashion...and this is one of them. I have hunderds of strategies for quitting. I’ve been
quitting smoking for years and am well practised in the craft.'

LOL. I'm quit 8 years now. People ask me how I quit and I tell them 'just like that'. And then I tell them I 'quit just like that' more times than I can remember :0) It almost got to be a monthly ritual at one point. It is probably one of the hardest things to do. If you don't really want to deep down (for yourself) it most likely won't take, or if it does you will be miserable (flames from other ex smokers here) and are just torturing yourself. I don't want to be discouraging but I've been there, done that... patches, gum,relaxation therapy , Life Sign (ROTFLMBO cause I'd smoke 2 every time it beeped) and a plethora of homespun ideas. On the positive side if you really want to it does get better. Also don't get me wrong about the 'quitting aids'. They do work for many people and if that's what you need to give you that edge, well that's what you need. My final tactic (contrary to popular wisdom) was to drink copious amounts of REALLY strong coffee every time I got the urge. It took a bit of the edge off for me (but I peed like crazy LOL).

It took me 6 months to learn and 20 years to quit :0) Finally worked when I really wanted it.
Hope I don't trip getting down from this soapbox :0)
Good luck.

regards
Kastel
