Honestly, meditation helped me quit and at first, I thought it was stupid, but it helped me.

Well I finally quit after 27 years of smoking 10 years ago. I planned this thing all out. I got the patch and read the instructions to the T. and it worked. The directions said for me to switch everything around. So I moved my furniture and changed the colors of towels bed coverings etc...Then it said to drink something different than the usual. I went for that flavored fizzy water stuff. bought a case. Then it said the hand mouth motion. I chose sunflower seeds the pickle flavored spitz kind. I smoked about 4 cigarettes back to back to get sick and not want one for many hours. Right after my last cigarette I put on the patch at 3pm so I didn't have that long to go before bed. And it worked. The problem after a year was getting off of the sunflower seeds. lol, I hope it helps. God Bless you.

Freenowfinally is that a joke. I hojelstly can’t tell. I had a popsicle and that helped me. Then I went grocery shopping for dinner tonight

Allen Carrs Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Having said that if I lose 6 years at end of life, ill still make it to 100. Fuckit I like smoking!

I gave in and bought a pack. Ugh. Work has me strung out. I’m not wanting to go back tomorrow

I bought 2 cartons of cigarettes in Missouri where they were cheaper at the time, 9 years ago. I then started thinking about why I wanted to quit. For my health. I gradually cut back on the number of cigarettes I smoked a day and I also stopped smoking at my normal times to have a smoke. Like, when I walked the dog, when I first go up in the morning, and after meals, etc...Changed my habits. Gradually I didn't want to smoke as many cigarettes a day until I was smoking one a day. When I got down to my last pack I bought some patches and when that pack was gone I cut the patch in half and put it on. I didn't buy any more cigarettes. I wore a half patch for 2 weeks, never wanted a cigarette. Haven't smoked since.


Kisses, you will be able to do it when you are ready. Don't get down on yourself for starting back up. Sometimes it takes several tries to finally quit.

I quit cold turkey after smoking a pack a day for 10 years. It was absolute hell. But I felt this disgust towards the hold cigarettes had on me and I absolutely hated them for that, the hatred gave me strength and I did it. I stayed cigarette free for 5 years and then in my spree of world's worst choices, aka mania, I started again. I'm so disappointed in myself. I worked so hard to quit. But recently I started smoking a juul. I recommend it 100%! I'm down to like 3 cigs a day. I love it. Give it a try kisses! I think it will be way easier to wean yourself off of it than cigarettes. And you won't have to quit cold turkey. Plus, if you buy the pods in the right stores, it's cheaper than cigarettes.

I heard the patch and gum work great. Don't give up Kisses.

Hugs to you Kisses!

I quit cold turkey as well..... and it was hard.... I didn't really agree with Alan Carr... I did read his book

I think the thing that has helped me the most is that at the beginning I just accepted that it would be really hard for a while and that I couldn't give myself ANY reason to have a smoke because you can ALWAYS find a reason

it's addiction and you will be jonesing for a while.... I quit 5 years ago and there are still times I think about 'having just one' and I know to this day that wouldn't happen

I've told myself forcefully many times that I can never have another cigarette ..... that's kept me off of them..

Good for you Girl!!!..... Big hug of support....xo
