At some point you just simply decide to go the next minute, the furst hour, the next hour, the first day - refusing to use nicotine any longer.
 
You sound like you are at that point AMS, the point when you have reached ENOUGH!  Good for you.
 
Take the leap of faith.  THe only good time to quit smoking and start to live nicotine free is NOW.
 
The only cigarette we have to decide to not use to deliver nicotine into our bloood and brain is the Next one.
 
You only have to decide to not use One Cigarette - the Next One.
 
Trust what Joels i ssharing with you.  Read some of the stories of everyday people like you and me who have found that getting and staying nicotine clean is a far better and easier way to live our lives.  Living as we were designed to be, as we were meant to be - Nicotine Free.
 
Here's an article that speaks a bit to your last question -
 
 
Ultimately we must decide to take control of ourselves for ourselves by denying entry to a foreign substance that we do not need to survive, a substance that will make it less likely for us to survive. 
 
You can do it AMS, simply decide for the rest of today to not inject nicotine into the one and only body you will ever have.  You are worth getting through the temporary period of adjustment of withdrawal and getting to the other wonderful side of living free of this killer addiction.
 
JoeJFree always a nicotine addict and gratefully now an EX-smoker for 1 year, 1 month, 16 days, 21 hours, 17 minutes and 33 seconds (412 days)
I've now reclaimed 35 Days and 20 Hours to live how I choose! 
NTAP!
