OK, I'm on board. I've been perusing these threads and decided to hunt down the Allan Carr book. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm starting to read it today.

I really, really, really want to quit -- again. I began smoking at about 11, am 44 in Nov. I'd tried the patch (itchy littler suckers), the gum. I tried hynosis, but wasn't "tranced". I faked it. Hey, I was alone with a strang man in a dimly lit office laying on the couch. Sorry, I wasn't fazing out for anybody! I stopped completely Oct 1999. No withdrawal, no nothing. Then started up again early last year, because, well, for no reason. I didn't have a craving or anything like that. Just wanted to taste one. I'm kicking myself now.

Hope this time I'm a smarter winner!
