Hello Roberta, first of all never give up on your quit! It very important for you to quit smoking, and have a healthy life more than anything. Quitting smoking is the best thing you could do for yourself. You have to understand quitting smoking is a process. You have to take it one day at a time. Be patient with yourself, and stick with your plan. You also need to think about changing your schedule, specially in the morning.... try to exercise first, have water instead of coffee. As for me, I quit smoking over 8 months ago, coldturkey. I smoked for 25 years, 1 pk daily. I was tired of smoking, the smell, concern with my health so I stopped suddenly. First 3 weeks to 3 months is the withdrawal symptoms for me, they're mild, and don't last long. You can do it! Its doable!! It is wonderful feeling to be free from poison nicotine. I enjoy all the benefits of not smoking, like sense of smell, beautiful skin, and hair, my smell, etch. So you see everything is possible. Keep us posted. Best wishes.
