Hi H - Reading your thoughts reminded me of my own - I was a closet smoker too, but my husband knew - it was the entire rest of my world that thought i had quit in January. Being a closet smoker is a tough habit to break because you really don't have a support group when you decide to make the final break. I've tried quitting about 6 times since January, but finally made the break on July 16th. Here's how i managed it: 1) took wellbutrin, 2) read the book "The easy way to quit smoking (a must read), and 3)did mind exercises to get myself to the point when i could allow myself to be hypnotized. I bought the non-smoking hynopsis CDs online, and listened to them faithfully for about a week. The hardest part was the time leading up to the quit because i was afraid it wouldn't work (again). But believe it or not, the combination worked, and I rarely even think about smoking. My husband is a pack a day smoker, and i walk right by his cigarettes with no desire. I was shocked to find success this way, but if you can wrap your mind around the book i suggested, and also learn about hypnosis, it may work for you too!! good luck, luci
