Thats it, I'm done with it !!!

Got my office workstation here at the house completely cleared of all tobacco crap. No ashtrays, no pipe tobacco, no roller.
I quit cigs after 30 years of careless abuse. First 3 weeks I cheated by smoking 1 or 2 a day.
Said to myself that that aint quittin' !!!!
Either you quit or you didn't, don't play the "definition of is" game.
So here is the gauntlet thrown down upon myself.
If anyone here catches me smoking or talking about having "just one" you better call me a loser or weakling if you are a friend 
Dont wish me luck, I wont fail.
Cheers, Dave

Dave... you ROCK!!!
It's great to see all of you guys putting things in proper perspective and overcoming the addiction. If you quit once and fail... keep at it!
Your determination is inspiring!
with warm regards,

Atta boy Dave!! You can and will succeed because you want to.
I quit in 2005 after 30 some years too...it isn't easy. I tried about half a dozen times and chickened out but not this last time. Never cheated once because I knew if I did, I'd be right back to 1-1/2 packs a day. I loved to smoke.........I guess we all do or did.
Be strong, stay away from the things and places where your habit was really routine......like that first cup of coffee in the am, or right after a meal. Drink something else for awhile....tea, juice, whatever.
Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks y'all. I am down to almost no nicotine patches. Personally I believe the actual chemical addiction to be gone. I just don't have the severe cravings.
However, I will finish these step-3 patches like I am supposed to.
I'm at the point where if I smoked one, it wouldn't satisfy.
It's just the hands wanting to repeat a long standing habit of breaking up, rolling & lighting.
I seriously don't have any more urge for it...just a matter of keeping hands busy learning new and better habits.
My boy promises to humiliate me if I even look like I'm doin' wrong.
That works well for me 
I would ask Helen to help, but she already has a plethora of unrelated insults at the ready....I dont want to throw off her mojo 
It actually was a certain person here who inspired me to get off my pathetic excuses and complete this task. I am forever grateful to him as well as the many others here who has selflessly done so much for me.
Cheers, Dave

I am so proud of you. You seem to have the right mind set. The first 3 days of any addiction is withdrawing from the substance then you are right, it's psychological addiction. You CAN do this because you WANT to. Keep it up and let me know if I can help. I can nag real good or just be a good ear to listen.

Good luck Dave. It ain't easy but I hope you get where you forget to have one after dinner or some other trigger. That's when I knew I could win the battle.
It's just getting too complicated to smoke.

It'll do wonders for your sex life too Dave
Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray 
I'm even going to tell you my favourite "smoking joke" in the hope you think of it every time you reach for a fag.
What is the worst bit about having a lung transplant?
Don't know?
The first few times you cough up phlegm... it isn't yours...
