Hi Dutch, for me making the the decision to quit was easy, and i felt so so positive. The first 10 days were fine, then BOOM, down i went. The mind games are the toughest. I was so sure that i could beat my addiction, with self talk. But then i realized each time i failed it was also self talk, to the negative. It took me 3 trys and im here today, learning from those experiences. I still have mind games, but they do shoo away a bit easier. The hardest for me was early in my quit when i looked for any excuse to smoke, pick a fight, mope around, imagine scenerios where i could smoke, so for me i have had to work really hard on myself and attitude. i love the book idea, keep us posted, i love this site because it doesnt take alot of explaining for people to understand another addicts state of mind, and i want to be like alot of the longtimers here, so positive and supportive... all the best jeanigirl
