Marhaba AliRiza. What wonderful advice you have been given - starting with Katy's "you have to want to quit more than you want to smoke" to oink and Josie and Shelley and Cyberduke. I would also add that you need to really educate yourself about ADDICTION and what to expect. You are an addict (as we all are). It sounds like you want to quit, but as soon as you start to go through withdrawal, you lose your resolve. All of us understand that panic of looking through the garbage can for a butt because we think we cannot survive withdrawal. The reality is that withdrawal will not kill you. Really, I promise!!! It just feels like the end of the world, and no doubt it is pure hell for awhile. You need to be TOTALLY and COMPLETELY prepared for exactly what you are going to do as you go through the most serious withdrawal. This is like withdrawing from heroin. There is, unfortunately, no way to become a non-smoker without being willing to go through the misery of withdrawal. That's the bad news. The good news is that this is possible. You have to have faith in those who went before you...that this really is doable. We all went through the hell of withdrawal, but we survived the war to tell you about it. There is a wealth of information on this site. Spend EVERY spare moment that you have reading here. This is your life you are fighting for. And here you will find a group of people who have all been there and done that. They will hold your hand every step of the way. I spent my first week either sobbing in bed or here posting and reading. The folks here saved my life. A year ago I could not fathom that cigarettes and the thoughts of cigarettes would ever disappear from my life. I went on blind faith...and behold, here I am - tobacco free. Believe me, it was worth it. The freedom is delicious!

If you smoke 3 packs a day the nicoderm patch is not enough to control your cravings. The patch, as far as I know, at its highest level gives you 21mg of nicotine over a 24 hour period. that's a whole lot less than you're getting now smoking 60 cigarettes a day. Plus, you smoke those while awake so you get all that nicotine in just the waking hours, not over 24 hours like the patch. I undertsnad that some other replacement therapies might not be available in your country, but I know you have doctors there. I strongly suggest you talk to your doctor about your desire to quit, the problem you have with depression, and the problems you had with the patch the first time you tried. I too failed on more than one occasion going it alone. This quit is different for me. I went to my doctor and described to him almost the same problems you have. Working with my doctor we came up with a program that I am now following. It includes the patch, the gum for peak cravings, and a perscription medication to help with the anxiety and depression. I started this quit 36 days ago. The first few days were not easy. I used every weapon the doctor gave me to stay on the quit. Within a few days I was starting to feel under control. I am at a point now where just the patch can get me through a day. I'm looking forward to stepping down to the next level on the patch. I'm at 21mg now, I step down to 14 next week. I wanted to step down early, last week, my doctor told me no. He told me to stick with the plan. He said he's had a lot of success with people if they stay compliant and work hard at it. I'm proof you can do it. I smoked 2 packs a day, some days even more. You're not alone in this. Get your mind focused, make a plan, then execute that plan. We'll be here to help you.

AliRiza, I'm glad you recognize enough in yourself to know where your weaknesses lie and that you know you need to stop. There is a man by the screen name of BUBBA that will probably be along shortly who smoked 3 packs a day also. Check out [url=http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?forum=14&topic=28028]this thread[/url] by BUBBA for inspiration.

AliRiza,,,,,you find that quitting ups the stress for a while, but that's because it's the stress that is caused by the addiction! when you are smoking that addiction is soothed, only to begin it's demands the second you stub out the smoke.....that demand builds until you light the next one....the you get a feeling of relief. but the relief is deceiving, because it's only there because you answered the demand of the addiction. When you quit, the addiction sets to demanding, then screaming, then having a holy, hell of a tizzy, all out FIT! You have to hang on through this time and not give in....cause lighting up only begins the whole cycle over again. You HAVE to go through this.....there is no way around or over it....you have to grit your teeth and plow though it. It's a bit like an unruly child...if you give in, the demands increase in number and intensity....the only way out is discipline. (and it ain't always a pretty sight LOL) NRT can perhaps take the edge off it, perhaps not....depends on your determination, commitment and mind set. You have to be at a point where you really really WANT this quit.....you want it WORSE than you want to smoke.....at that point you will realize that not smoking is merely making a "choice" to not light up. No forever thinking...just choosing at the present, NOT to light up. You distract and teach yourself to focus on something else. Only you can find the combination of actions and thinking that will carry you through this....but you need to know that the intense craving for that "fix"..WILL pass. good luck to you....I hope you begin quickly....making excuses and reasoning that now isn't the right time, can go on forever. katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1561 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 62,450 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $8585.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 203 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 12

The help must come from your "choice" to stop.....you have to want to quit [u]more[/u] than you want to smoke. Aids are just that....aids....they don't take away all cravings, merely dull the edges so you can cope a bit easier. The cravings are intense at first....but with time and your decision to not smoke, they become managable....finally they leave you alone. It boils down to making the commitment to NOT smoke....no matter what. The withdrawal DOES pass. My hubby and I smoked 2 and 3 packs a day also.....and had done so for 40 years and more.....but we are free.... Make the choice and then commit to it!

Walking, Welcome to our support community. Many people who quit will admit that the reason they never quit before was because of a fear of failure. Why go through withdrawal if it may not work, they wondered? They did not know about the Journey to our Online Quit Program or the wonderful support they could get here. When some people prepare to quit, they consciously try to cut down. One such person wrote to me that in order to be able to do that, she kept her cigarettes outside. For her, smoking had been automatic, and all other attempts to cut down had failed. She wanted to start developing coping methods before the big day came. Another person wrote that he put away his pack, only taking out a certain amount for the morning. He did the same for the afternoon and the same for the evening. This allowed him to discover the time of day when his strongest urges hit. Then he would work on dealing with that time of day. Cutting out a few favorites each day is another way to cut down, such as the ones on the ride home from work, or the first one in the morning. There are other ways of cutting down, and I hope the members will share how they did it. Please let us know how we can help, Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
