I have been tapering off cigarettes the last two weeks. I was smoking almost 2 packs a day, and now I am down to 4 cig's a day. I have been tapering down a little at a time. Don't beat yourself up, just try again. Do what you feel comfortable with and what you can handle. Then get comfortable with that, then decrease again. Don't try and jump in all at once, your head will blow off, and we don't want that. Set a goal, try your best, and if you have to, I know this sounds corny BUT...I wrote encouraging post it notes and left them all over the house, and when I went to the kitchen or bathroom, or wherever, I saw them, and it really helped me get through those first few days. Whatever you have to do, do it. Just take it easy, not too much too fast...with sober love..I hope this helped..
