Some people may say that I am still considered a smoker, but I am happy with what I have accomplished so far. I used to smoke a pack a day. Now a pack would last me a month if the damn things didn't get stale.
Baby steps, no physical aids, just cut back until you stop. Cold turkey just results in relapse.

That's the toughest part, it took me years before I could go out drinking and not have the urge for a butt. Even now I may bum one here or there. This summer we were out boozing and I bummed off this guy outside of a bar and he gave me a Newport. LOL man, it knocked my socks off. For a minute I thought I was gonna have to sit down on the sidewalk.
