   Everytime you have a cigarette, put it out on your forearm.

   Wellbutrin and Xanax. I took Wellbutrin and Xanax for 10 days and laid the cigs down and only took the rest of the Wellbutrin which was one month supply. I smoked for almost 20 years and that was my first try to ever quit and I never craved them again. It’s been a year and a half now and I feel FANTASTIC!! I know several people that have quit using this method and not one has went back to smoking. Good luck.

   Cold Turkey is the best.

   I smoked for 25+ years and tried to quit numerous times. I tried the gum, patches, pills, you name it I tried it. My doctor asked if I ever tried cold turkey and I said “no”.

   He said try it, just remember to quit one day at a time. He was right. The first three days are a bit rough, but once you get through that it gets easier.

   I bought a big bag of starlight mints (like Halloween size) and I put one in my mouth every time I had the urge. Well the first day, I was chewing those mints like a beaver on crack.

   That was almost ten years ago and I still haven’t smoked. Even now, I’ll get the occasional urge to have a smoke, of course I don’t.

   Believe me, it’s worth it to quit. I can’t believe how stupid I was to smoke all those years.

   Good luck, just be determined to do it, and do it.

   I got Welbutrin from the Dr. took for 3 days and smoked right along with the medicine. On day 4 went to light up and took a big drag. Thought a dog had just dumped in my mouth it tasted so nasty. Could not get the smoke out fast enough. Think I used a full bottle of mouth wash. Well I was to scared of having that taste again so I never lit up again. I then changed my routines. I usually smoked and drank coffee at the kitchen table. I started drinking coffee on the porch.
   Sat in the Non smoking section when I went out to eat.
   Then the big change I asked everyone to smoke outside and not in my house. Took awhile, and every once in awhile I think I might want one but then that taste filters thru my mind.
   Now I smell smokers and think how awful I must have smelt.
   Food tastes so much better, and a hug from your child means so much when they say Thanks for not smoling. Good Luck
