I'm going to have my last fag soon and will be off to bed shortly....

I just know it will be hell when I wake up and try to convince myself I should just smoke...

I've been through it a few times but this time I REALLY want to quit for good.

How did you do?

DAMN IT!!!

I gave in after only 14 hours, most of which I was sleeping...
I went to bed with good intentions but had major cravings before I'd even opened my eyes in the morning.

I've tried every Nicotine replacement product there is and they just don't work for me....
I'm afraid to say this is one addiction that may be the death of me.

It was much easier to quit drinking than smoking. And I was a full blown drinking in the morning with scotch in my first coffee, and on from there.

I don't know if you read my other post but go here and read my post which is last and you will see that other than short quits like the one you went through, which I did a gazillion times too and felt like a failure, that when you are truly ready, you will make it.

Here's that thread:

Good luck with it, it ain't easy.
