aeromar,
Best of luck with your new attempt!
I'm doing exactly the same at the moment (smoke-free for a week right now
)
First of all, I was absolutely ready to quit the fags. Instead of doing it for myself, I resolved I would quit for my (non-smoking) boyfriend. I found this is giving me a greater incentive!
For the cravings, a good ol' fashioned patch. When things get
really desperate and I have to do something else, I either nibble biltong or sip water.
Whichever way you choose, I agree that what you really have to have is willpower.
