Like Caroline's grandad I just gave up one day. I got all the tobacco I could find and rolled up a nice long spliff, and whilst smoking myself silly I kept telling myself I would never smoke again.
I also joined a stop smoking forum (sadly gone now) and they were excellent. The got you to start your own thread and said to make at least 1 post per day, every time you posted people would encourage you. Some would be people that had given up a few years and some were just a day in front of you, I ended up staying there for a couple of years encouraging others but they were a victim of their own success and the forum closed.
The biggest piece of advice I got was to always have Cranberry Juice beside you, I hate the stuff but was told to just sip it every time I felt like a smoke. They said it stopped the craving, maybe it was placebo but it worked for me.
If you want to start a thread in off topic I'm sure a lot of us would be here to encourage you. But you do really want to do it for it to work.
