Saturday, I smoked 9 cigarettes total as well as Sunday. So far today, I'm smoking my fourth cigarette right now since I woke up at 2am.

Today, I'm forcing myself to wait every 2 hours between smoke breaks and tomorrow I'll increase that time by 10-15 minutes or longer. I've tried cold turkey before and it just didn't work, I get very irritable and mean. I've tried the patches, gum and pills, but all didn't work. I would smoke while chewing the gum or had the patch on, lol.

If I can stick to this plan, I'm sure eventually I'll break this habit.

Good luck, I know exactly what you're going through,I've tried many time to quit myself. 
It's a hard road ahead, but I know it can be won. Seen people to it. It's one hardest things I've ever tried to do. As a coal miner, we aren't allowed to have any thing smoking related underground. So I aways carry can dip underground. Hope you beat this terrible habit
