I smoked 3 packs a day for almost 20 years...god awful "habit" and one I have not done now for 18 months.
I did it with the aid of a book...Easy way to stop smoking by Allen Carr. Its dead easy to read and its intensely powerful, ie it unbrainwashes you while you continue smoking!! I chain smoked my way through the book and put out my last ciggy when I'd finished the book!
I've suffered from CFS, anxiety, depression and a host of other associated ailments for almost 17 years and stopping smoking is the biggest thing thats helped give me my health back. Its taken a long time and the first year I felt little difference (in fact at times I even felt a bit worse as my brain chemistry changed due to the lack of nicotine) but hand on heart, I can honestly say I *DO* fel better both physically and mentally for not smoking.
I couldnt recommend the book enough, and note how you HATE smoking (I did too). The book is the tool you are missing from your smoking cessation toolbox. Good luck.
