The Quit Smoking Helpline?

I keep hearing commercials on the radio about some kind of quit smoking helpline. Basically, I think they offer you some type of guide that offers you encouragement if you're trying to quit? At first thought I thought it wouldn't work. But on second thought, it makes sense.

I would appreciate having a person there to help me. For example if I was feeling a craving I could call in and have some sense talked into me. Or maybe they do more than that, has anyone used something like this?

Personally I think that you quit smoking when you are ready, nothing else matters.

I can quit smoking right?

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever really ever be able to quit smoking. Sometimes the urge is just so great, and sometimes none at all. The other night I bummed a smoke off of a neighbor and I smoked it on my back patio after dark like I used to after I stopped smoking in the house because of my kids.

It was great. Then I felt bad of course about doing it. Quitting smoking has got to be one of the hardest things to do in the history of man. I'm so weak.

Lunch with a friend who smokes

Had lunch with a friend yesterday who still smokes. I foolishly said go ahead and smoke. Of course, within 15 minutes I had borrowed one for myself. I should have known better than to sit with a smoker. I should have gone for the non-smoking section. He could have waited until after he ate.

Anyway, they were menthol cigs, which I hate. The taste is just horrible.
