Jon,
I have. It's been nearly two months, with only four setbacks. Each setback was only once a day, on days that I would normally have smoked all day. For me it was a combo of things that kicked in to help. I think the first thing was getting my meds right. I'm at 200mgs of lamictal and I don't know how much trileptal (though I should). And really wanting to. I sing A LOT! And my band has been getting busier and busier, smoking was taking a toll on my health. I had wanted to for about 6 months or so and talked about it consistently with my pdoc, who is supportive and hopefully has kept it out of my files. And finally, I was just able to do it. I don't even know what inspired me, but it just clicked on and wa la! Keep at it. Be honest with yourself, get the meds right and don't be too hard on yourself if #1 it takes awhile and #2 you have setbacks.
Good luck,
StarlightPS, I was also a daily smoker for about 7 years.
