I have a couple ideas, that worked for me when I quit...and I had to do it cold turkey as weaning myself off them didn't work, and patches just got me addicted to the patch.

Basically, what I did was arrange it so I was home for about a week (took a vacation because I didn't want to be around people when the b**chiness and the weepiness started)...I stayed in my room and pretty much stayed online the whole time. If I got tired, I went to sleep, (sleep as much as you can the first couple of days...helps with the withdrawl) and when I woke up I got back online. I had loads of people to talk to, as my online friends span the globe -- there was never a timezone issue.

I did consume enough wine to keep myself mildly inebriated (don't recommend this for everyone, but it was useful to me) and ate when I felt like it. I also drank ice water between sips of wine, and this is the surprising thing (because of how well it worked) I used a straw. I didn't realize it but since I wasn't feeding my hand-to-mouth habit, I could still recreate the 'drag' of smoking but using a straw. I know...sounds weird but it worked. Whenever I wanted to reach for the cigarette which was previously, always on the desk ashtray, I sucked on the straw in the icewater. (I think it also helped that I smoked menthol cigs before so the cool of the water was kinda expected outcome of using the straw)

Just keep in mind...and this is VERY important....if you can get through the first 3 days, the rest is a piece of cake. The first 3 days are when you get emotional X a million, but after that, it's just reminding yourself when you think about having a cig "oh wait, I don't do that anymore". Just remember to keep drinking with a straw.

This method worked for me, and I was a pack and a half smoker with 25 years under my belt! Good luck
