Hello Joel and Members,

A friend turned me on to this website and I have to admit that it is the most educational and directly informational website on smoking addiction I have ever found. I have educated myself about chemical additiction and have quit many times. I can read and comprehend but the problem is that I continously relapse by taking a cigarette from other family members who smoke. Any one with a nicotine habit knows what this means... The intention and drive to quit is there but my resolve seems to be lacking. I find my main relapses occur with stress from work and family issues. I already know the dangers of smoking but I guess I am looking for support in how to overcome that initial urge to just say, the heck with it, I will quit tomorrow. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this very frustrating situation!!!!!!!!!
