[QUOTE="brdavies, post: 551707, member: 109256"] I quit smoking about 15 years ago. Unfortunately the sad fact is that I still miss it, even after all these years. I found that cold turkey was the only thing that worked for me (yes the patch was available back then lol). First weeks were really bad, and at the time (being non-diabetic then) I compensated by eating ice cream and gaining a bit of weight. But after some weeks, the cravings get less and less, and now only the odd twinge now and then, especially if I am under stress. The trick I used was to throw out something that cost quite a bit of money to cement my commitment. In my case it was a beautiful Zippo lighter I bought when I was in the Navy. I loved that lighter, but wanted to quit bad enough to toss it - so that if I ever started again, it would be like I had just thrown it away for nothing. It worked. [/QUOTE]
