Hi,
I am a newbie too. Only 3 weeks. I went thur the same thing you are going thur. I really wanted to quit but I was still smoking 4 cig a day. I would set my quit date then on the day I would still smoke. I think the one thing that did it for me was I kept telling myself if I could cut back to 4 cig a day after smoking 3pks a day then I could quit altogether. Just do not give up, Keep your quit in mind. Even if it takes weeks for you to quit,that is ok. I beat myself up too for trying to quit and not doing it. When you are ready you will quit. You have got to want it more than anything. I would tell myself I could wait 5 minutes before I smoked, than by the time 5minuets were up I would be doing something else and I had forgotten about the cig. Just find something that works for you. there is no potion that will help you quit. You just have to want it more than you want the cig. Please do not give up and do not beat yourself up for not quitting. when you are ready it will happen. I know I have not beat my addiction yet but every day I do not smoke I am winning not my addictions. People on this board are great and will help you if you let them. Please come by and read the post even post somethings on your own. Even if you are smoking we would still like to hear from you.
DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!
