As the old saying....."quitting smoking is easy, I've done it a thousand times." Not this time....I am determined. I'm mad and tired of it...once and for all I will beat the terrible grasp of this bad habit.
Good Luck to us....
A few things I found helped me in the past (well, it didn't help me stop obviously but it did help me mentally).
I did NOT tell my mother, brother, father, my wife, or friends that I knew would badger me that I was trying to quit....I let them figure it out. Once they did, I told them to NOT ask me "how I was doing." I made the mistake before and would get phone calls 3 or 4 times a day asking me how I was doing with the attempt. I cannot repeat my response here....you can assume. They all would say the typical things (that as a smoker we already know)...think how much $$ you'll save, think about how much better you'll feel and smell. Trust me...all smoker know this.....none will deny these facts. Its a matter of doing it.
