	Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Figure out how much smoking costs you each year. Plan to buy yourself something nice with that money. When you feel weak, think about that thing and how much you want it.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

You can try writing this whole thing down and paste it on a wall.

Write something like "Days after quitting smoking" in big red letters on a sheet of cardboard and put it up. Each day you don't smoke make a mark in pencil on the sheet. However, erase the marks if you start smoking.

You can even combine this with che's idea. Put "Each mark is worth $x!" at the bottom.

This should give you an incentive to continue and a sense of accomplishment.

Good suggestions, they might help with the motivation side of it.

The biggest obstacle of all though is the psychological addiction, i.e. all the little situations during the day that you associate with smoking. Eating, having a cup of coffee, reading the paper, placing a phone call, answering a phone call, finishing something, starting something, being halfway through something...

Instead of saving for something really nice, buy something really nice now so-that you can't afford smoking.

Actually, you are supposed to be able to at least partially compensate for the lack of smokes with either food, or sex.

Go find yourself a nymphomaniac.

One of my buddies had a problem with food after quitting smoking, he's around 20 stone now, from about 16 before he quit - so you'll need to watch that pitfall.

Cigerettes seem to prey on negative feelings, so try to adjust your mindset to be more positive and see if it makes it any easier? For example i use a general philosophy of 'who's going to give a damn in a hundred years?' when dealing with things that can make me feel stressed.

Bad people at work/Finacial issues/relationship bad spots etc.

"who's going to give a damn about this in a hundred years?" i tell myself - the answer probably no-one, so why get worked up about it now.

I'm a relative stress free zone, which also helped lots when i was giving up smoking(many years ago now and i haven't gone back to them, which i'm very happy about).

So look for ways to unstress your life, and hopefuly you can in those momments find new strength and avoid reaching for the fags.

Positive thinking. Why give your money to some millionares that get richer in exchange for the eventual cost of your life? f**k em and their tabaco. You can do it.

True, and other things like drugs. Pot really takes the edge off when quitting. I'm smoked that twice since quitting and it really helps, but it's something I have to watch. I once quit and about a month later wondered why I was spending about $500 bucks a month on pot.

That really is the long run solution, and life is so much better anyway with that type of attitude.
