Smoking is not an option, so what do you do? Plan everything out. Decide what you�re going to do when you start craving a cigarette. Figure out how you�re going to keep smoke free when you�re around smokers. Write down EVERYTHING. One member quit smoking the day he went on a week long hiking/camping trip with non smokers. He took away all his options to smoke, kept busy, enjoyed his friends, and quit smoking. Decide what it is you need to do, what support you need, what rewards you�re going to give yourself, and then, just jump in and quit. You really can do it. Anyone can. You just don�t have the next cigarette. Ever. You could do it if you knew the next one was going to kill you. You know that you want to quit, so plan it all out and quit. ..."

How true! That's why for this quit (the fifth one!), I have decided to take the position of the one who decides to burn the bridge after crossing the river. I can't and I don't go back. Smoking is no longer an option for me. It's better for me to look ahead and deal squarely with all the discomforts - mental & physical, one by one, one day at a time! :)
