Hi Karen, Everyone's quit is differnt, you will know this quit is special and that you are going to make it. My job is very stressfull too, and somedays are very hard, when I take that break, and I don't go outside. But, I have learned to take the stairs to the break room, instead of elevator or outside, and sitting down and relaxing in a nice comfy warm room for my break. By the time I go back to work, I feel good. Work the program here, it helps and there are a ton of great people here ready to help. Use them, they don't mind and they actually know what you are going through.

stringpincher - 3 months and you started again. This time the quit starts with N.O.P.E. and ends with N.O.P.E. You know you can do this. Set a reward for 6 months and one year, something that you really want bad, but you can't have it until 6 months are up and one year is up. Use this site, it's great!

You are right Lainey, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Canada you pay over $11.00 almost $12.00 a pack for 25 in a pack. I am from the states (now a dual - citizen - Canada / US) and I thought the prices were bad enough there, but Canada is way more expensive for something that will kill ya.

Usually before heading to work, I would sit and relax for about a half an hour, and then grab my stuff and lunch and head to work. It usually takes me about 20 minutes drive to get to work. This time is when I crave a smoke badly. I don't know what to do with this time, while I want to relax before going to work, I usually did it with a smoke, then I would have another on the way to work in the car. I notice everyday before work now, I have to fight off the cravings and in the car too. I keep thinking I am forgetting something when I leave the house, because now I don't have to worry about if I have my cigarettes or not and my lighter. But, everytime I work, I keep thinking I am forgetting something. Any suggestions on how to get over these cravings or not have to fight them as much?
