mianne, Just stop smoking.
You will get a bit of withdral from no nicotine in your system but this will be like a battery gradually losing its charge.
Those who refuse to allow any nicotine back into their bloodstream have 100% odds of remaining smoke free today, tomorrow & Always!

Firstly, who says you can't be social with your friend(s) in a non-smoking environment !.
Your friends need to accept that you don't smoke anymore, just as you accept that your friends choose to smoke, if not.. thats life !
Stargazer, do what you have to do to not smoke, if that means not being in a smokey bar breathing in smoke with your smoking friends - so be it, they should understand this.
Unfortunatly smokers stick together in groups so you may even find that new non-smoking friends are the answer.
Fortunately smokers are a dying bread.. so who knows, your'e friends may be in your position in the not to distant future (& they will)... you may be all the help they need. :8o:
Remember that this is all about you, not them. ;)

Hi there Phillip,

The Journey is for me the destination and the journey is continuous.

What you say is so true..
I had to learn to stop fighting my quit, once i realised "the journey" i was able to gain a control over my life once more - the moment of revalation.
Great attitude !.

Hi there SanFernandoRed,
yup..it's terrible, we've all been there & most of us will honestly admit to the emotional battle scars.
You're going through nicotine withdrawl (hardest part). Cry, sleep.. do what you have to do to not smoke. I recon the harder the withdrawl, the better chance you have staying quit.
Cigarettes are no longer your friends, they're you enemy - keep strong. ;)
