Steve, I quit 6 years ago. Like you, I had tried a bazillion times with no luck. After trying patches, gum, prescriptions, you name it for aids, quitting cold turkey worked best for me. For now, avoid stuff you simply had to have a cigarette with like beer and coffee. Drink a diet soda instead to get your caffeine for a week or two.

Now for the mental edge, look at a kid or a grandkid and remind yourself that you can not tell them not to smoke if you are smoking. That did it for me.

It CAN be done!
