this is absolutely the MOST important treatment for quitting. you HAVE to want to quit in order to do so. if you cannot maintain self control, then nothing else in this world is gonna keep you from lighting up that next cig. one thing to remember is if you are trying to quit, that YOU don't want to smoke. YOU don't actually want to have that cigarette. your ADDICTION wants it. your body is making your brain THINK you want a cig when in reality you don't want it at all.
