I quit cigarettes some time ago... it was not easy but can be done. Drink lots of water is #1 and there are a lot of mental things you go through.
Feel free to PM me if you like.
Oh, #2 is don't freak out if you slip/up and feel like you are starting-over again... it is the worst state you can put yourself in for a back-slide, it is not "I can never have another smoke again, ever, ever, ever" it is "I'm not going to smoke today" and when it gets really bad "I bet I can make it for another half-an hour, or for another three hours, or until dinner". Worked for me.
Another thing I did at home, was to keep 45lb dumbbells handy and when I was craving so bad I almost caved I did curls until I could not lift my arms, and if that did not do it, then I moved to crunches... after a while Pavlov kicks in and you will suddenly say "Oh shit, I DO NOT want one THAT BAD at ALL!" Plus, you get ripped. Though now with my illness, I would not have been able to do this... but it sure helped back then.
I had a very tough time during the third month, well after the nicotine was out of my system, the habitual addition is far worse than the physical. The nicotine will be out of your system in a matter of days.
