Welcome Crash7997,
Timbo and John already gave you great advice. I highly recommend talking to your doctor about quit aids. In the very least, it is good to know what your options are.
It sounds like you are feeling defeated and angry with this addiction. You never thought you would be smoking this late in your life; but, because you have not had success, you feel there is no alternative. I can certainly see why you feel cynical. Fighting this addiction is extremely hard and when we spend so much time living with an addiction (or any unhealthy pattern for that matter) it can be very difficult to change. This does not mean you are doomed though. People change when they keep focused on changing and prepare for the change. By posting here and working on the program, you are already working on that focus and preparation. The program will help you to find alternative ways to cope, adapting to this new way of living can take time and effort but many members here can attest that the work you put in now is totally worth it. Take it one step at a time - you don't have to quit now, just thinking about it is a step in the right direction.
A big part of a successful quit is being motivated to quit. What are your reasons for wanting to quit? Also, what are your reasons for not wanting to quit?
I hope to read more from you soon!
Ashley
