How to stop smoking when you enjoy it so much? I really like smoking for some reason and then I get so anxious when I think about quitting that I always fail! Am I crazy or am I thinking normal for a smoker? I know I should quit my family and friends are always telling me to stop and I want to get back to exercising but yet.........I continue to smoke!!!!!!!! AUGH!!!!!

Have you tried reading Allen Carr's book? I was also recommended another one "Free yourself from smoking" by Kristina-Ivings,these books explain why we think we "enjoy" smoking!

According to the books we think we enjoy smoking but all we are doing is relieving nicotine cravings!

I'm trying to get my head into the right place also so I can try again!
