Hi (((Bolivar))),
 
I just read your message and am thinking: what ARE YOU waiting for?
 
You already are suffering from the consequences of smoking and nicotine use. I know there is no point in me saying "Please, quit now and don't wait until it really is too late and your family and friends will have to say a final good-bye to you, too."
 
You might still be looking for that Easy Way to Quit Smoking ... what is easier, though, when you really think about it than to just stop feeding your body nicotine?
 
 
Don't just  "try Cold Turkey, do it!!! What was withdrawal really like? is a string that shows you that there really is nothing to be afraid of and you know yourself that you will have so much to gain.
 
You have also found the whyquit-site and Joel's library - have a good look around there and educate yourself about our addiction. Also read all the articles that Joel has recommended to you and anything else that will be given to you as a reading suggestion.
 
You said you are afraid of withdrawal - well, good news here: it won't last forever and if you experience any agony (which you might not, you never know - it might be so much easier than you think), you also know it will pass. The agony WILL pass, the withdrawal WILL end but you WILL still be there to live, you will have reached a comfortable state as an ex-smoker and you will be able to enjoy a much healthier life with all your loved ones.
You might also be interested in having a look at  
 
Bolivar, come on and fly with me ... - honestly: it is so worth it, you are so worth it and in a short time you will see that yourself.
 
Hoping that you have already had your last cigarette and wishing you all the best for a hopefully very long, nicotine free future.
