My method for quitting was simply cold turkey. I read this thread three times (monday night, tuesday night, and wednesday night) and I wish I read that book, but since it apparently encourages you to smoke while reading it, I did not bother going and getting it.
Monday night wasn't so bad. Tuesday night was brutal. I felt like an old man that was forced to retire. I just didn't know what to do with myself. Like my hands wanted to be busy, but my brain was saying no. It was seriously difficult. Wednesday was almost as bad, but not quite.

The worst was Friday. Hanging out on a beautiful weekend with friends and beers and watching people smoke was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. And then there was Saturday. Pretty much just as hard. Today wasn't as bad. I think I'm used to it now. I think it'll be a good couple of years before I'm really free of all the triggers, but I think I might be past the really hard part. Now it's more of an ironman streak, and I kind of love those, so I'm pretty sure I'll never smoke again, except for maybe a cigar or something, on an occasion. My cigarette smoking career ended at 18 years. F*** it.

Good job. If you want to get the smell of the smoke out of your car/truck, PM me. I have a product here that works wonders, and I can give you a freebee.
