The "wimp" comment wasn't intended to personally offend anybody (although if it did you know who you are)- just to jog you into thinking about the real reason(s) you want to quit. As has already been said - if you don't really want to quit - you won't.

I have known close friends who have attempted to quit by chewing gum, straws, sunflower seeds, their fingernails, then the patch, hypnosis, etc. And without exception they ALL relapsed. Cold turkey seems to be the most effective method.

I personally quit tobacco, then pot, then alcohol, all cold turkey - and I still consider myself a wimp in other areas of my life. In fact, some of my dearest friends are wimps -don't get your bowels in an uproar.
