Congrats myMHz, you have already done the hardest part, deciding it is time to quit. The key thing is not to get discouraged and to keep trying. Each time a smoker quits, he has a 20% chance of staying quit long term. That is why the average smoker has to quit 5 times before avoiding a relapse. If you use Zyban, you double your chances to 40%, which is quite significant. Over the counter nicotine substances can be helpful for many.
The point of this is certainly not to dicourage you. My point is quit, and if you relapse, quit again. The best incentives are being around for kids and the ever rising cost. It is helpful if all smokers in a household quit together. You must also do some introspection and avoid circumstances where the urge to smoke will be strong.
