As said, i had no home by myself, i was living from couch to couch. When i reallized, i won't be able to study due to the circumstances (addiction, beeing homeless, beeing unemployed), i got so damn angry, i went to the hospital. They did not want to take me, but i insisted, that because i have been smoking & drinking & taking stuff for 12 years, i need someone to lock me up for some days or weeks and observe me. Because, everywhere else where i would go, i would just take more and more. Every friend's couch, where i would sit and it's surely not better in the streets. So finally, after 12 hours of discussion they said, they had a free bed. This is how i quit. 2 Months later, i decided to really start all over and went to a small farm (with animals and stuff) where also smoking is forbidden. When no one around you does and you don't see old ashtrays or smokers or stuff, it is pretty easy. After 3 Days i was rid of any thoughts, only sometime, when i was waiting for the train, i went through some memories of me smoking, trying to kill the time. Really, remove EVERYTHING that reminds you. Don't worry, after few days the pressure will stop. Everytime you say 'No' then makes it easier for the next time. I now can't imagine smoking anymore. All the pain in throat and eyes... i pitty all the people i see, that are still beeing addictet! I hope you will succesfully overcome this pain in the a**!!!
