You tried this mate? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Illustrated-.../dp/1848379307

Check the reviews, nearly a thousand reviews, 4.8 star average rating. There is a DVD too, I've watched it and it's brilliant.

The crux of the method is he will basically take any excuse you use for smoking and debunk it, exposing it for the illusion that it is. Sounds obvious but I know real heavy smokers who have quit and swear by this, myself included. Smoke free for about 3 years now.

Good luck to everyone trying to quit in 2013 :)

I don't really do New Year's Resolutions much but I might try and quit smoking this year as well. May as well give my lungs a few months of respite before I go to Uni and get caught up in it all again.

Yeah I've tried a few times. I've managed to cut down over the past six months though, I mostly smoke now when I have a drink in front of me but I'm hoping to quit altogether. My family has a history of lung cancer and smoking-related deaths so I'm very aware of the health issues.

Maybe when the New Year comes along we could start up a Quitting Smoking thread and try and help each other along or something? I certainly wouldn't want to go to a real life meeting but just making offhand mentions of any moments of doubt I had in the day and seeing that other people have it the same way here would be pretty comforting.

Yeah I was like that so I quit alcohol as well, these days I can have a beer now and then and be OK as long as I time it correctly.

Get my savings back on track and stop making the minimum payments on my credit card and just get the thing paid off (my limit is super low so my bank doesn't hassle me that much). I'm also looking at finding a one-bedroom apartment somewhere because as cool as my room is, this house is just too old and lacks pretty much all the modern touches that people are use to, like heat.

Nope but will either majoring in VB or Java, which is more valuable do you think?

In 2013 I hope to eat way less red meat/pork and start my first post-college grow.
