Dang dude, It's a tough thing. I did the same thing for years I'd quit for a month here and there and always came back. Made it two years once and picked it back up during a divorce.

I tried Zyban several years ago and it worked like a charm. I had quit smoking within the first two weeks of taking it. 11 months later I went to Jamaica and let's just say that I picked up smoking again. I was impressed with Zyban though and in 2004 I decided to try it again. It didn't work at all that time. I then did an event with Squibb Pharma and it was with some of their muckity mucks up in Jackson Hole. While standing outside having a smoke one of their VP's came out to hit up the Blackberry and told me that "Those things are gonna kill ya" I mentioned my experience with Zyban since they make the product and she said they had many cases of people building a resistance to it after using it once. She told me to try Zyban with the Patch (which they also make) and I told her it sounded like some self serving advice, and she insisted that I give it a try after talking to a doctor of course. I did.

I have to say that every time I tried to quit it was the hardest thing I had ever done and I usually failed. using The patch along with Zyban was really easy and it weened me off the cigs and then took care of the cravings as well.

I do know that my desire to quit was stonger than it had ever been, as well, so I am sure that had a lot to do with it, but cold turkey just never stuck with me.

I hope whatever you do sticks cause it's nice to taste and smell again.
