I smoke for a few tears, then spent the next 18 years trying to quit. It doesnt help when you have parts that dont want to quit, breakdown and spark up another.
Plus also the anxiety and stress of this condition kept me fiending. Ive tried almost every over the counter way to quit...patches, gum, lozenges, life savers, but couldn't stop.
My last chance was when vaping came around. I thought all the flavrs and juices were disgusting, but I kept lowering my nicotine level notch by notch to zero. After 6 months of doing this...just the flavor alone was disgusting so I quit vaping. I've been a few years cig free thank God and will not put another stick in my mouth God helping.
Good luck to you and I'm finding that I'm feeling much better, breathing better, not stink like a fire, and my home smells better and less ashy and yellow.
You can do it, I know you can. I did.
