My first day of quitting, just had one cigarette when i decided I want to quit...

Ah again I'm trying to quit, I tried a couple of times now, and using the nicabate pills to make myself disgusted of these cigarettes...
I hate these pills, they burn my throat and make me dizzy, but hopefully my mind will connect this horrible taste of the pills to my craving of cigarettes...
I'm quitting because I actually got a second upper respiratory infection (Again the doctors say I'm lucky it hasn't developed into asthma!) I mean, it's becoming too close of a call!
Plus, I'm running out of money! I've been buying rollies and I smoke sooo much that it also doesn't last me more than a week!
I really do want to quit and trying hard to find a part-time job...so..hopefully I'll get some call-backs :(

Good Luck. The first few days i was just getting through hour by hour and telling myself how strong i was. I am using patchs but i think it's more it helps me think its working. Mind over matter you are strong just prove it to yourself. I had a severe asthma attack 2 1/2 years ago and spent a week in hospital. I said never smoking again but i did. They say if you get asthma as a adult it's a lot more severe. Keep posting here for support,,,kathy

Wanna know what I've been doing..... eating celery, tastes bloody horrible in great quantities but it's cheaper than lollies and better for you, it gives you that rotten feeling in your mouth that you get from mtoo many cigarettes.... dunno just an idea. I really wish you luck with your effort I've just managed my first 24 hours and I know it's not much but it feels like a miracle to me after 30 years of daily smoking.

Heya guys, thanks a lot for the support!
Yeah it's soo hard! I'm glad I started not smoking while I was broke, because I was already looking through the trash for cigs! Then I came onto the site and saw the support and it gave me strength again :) so thank you!
