In the morning, have water and snack food to hand - and basicalyl just try and stay in bed most of the day. By the time you wake up after being utterly exhausted you should have been off nicotine for about 10 hours - longer if you stopped a couple of hours before you went to bed.

The first day is the pig - if you can doze through it - with a good slug of whisky helping throat and general drowsiness, then the next day will be more manageable.

A craving (even on day 1) rarely lasts more than about 5 minutes.

Also try to ensure there are no cigs around in the house - so if you DO have a moment of weakness, your craving will have passed long before you have actually dressed, waked to the shop and bought some.

This method - or variations on it, have worked for me and a few friends.
