MammaD, I stuck really close to the boards the first year. It really does help. I take it that you have your quit kit together: sugar-free gum and candy, ice water... You might want to try exercising or taking up some other type of hobby and just sitting and meditating sometimes. You're right: quitting smoking is exhausting. That is why I only wanted to make one attempt the last time. I knew from experience that it would be months, if not years between attempts, because that's how long it takes me to recover from the last one. The bottom line is that I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired and said, If not now, then when? Along the way, you will get a second and third wind. The cravings do let up and get farther and farther apart. You can do this.
