Any advice? Smoker

Question

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me to quit smoking? I've been smoking for 12 almost 13 years and have been wanting to quit for a while just don't know how to do it? Does anyone have advice tips or tricks to stop the craving. Thanks in advance.

Answer

The only thing that finally worked for me was breaking the habits. I cut off the friends I used to smoke with, moved into a different building at work, and changed all my routines. I had to do a fresh start with everything for quitting to finally work for me. This August will be two years since I quit. Good luck!  It's so incredibly hard to quit. I compare it to the need to eat. Your body needs it and you can't help it until your mind is strong enough to prevail.

Every day i told myself "i won't smoke today but tomorrow first thing in the morning i will smoke" till the urge to smoke went away.

I smoked 2 boxes a day for 15 years and i'm clean for 6 years.

Honestly the only thing that worked for me was going cold turkey and avoiding anything and v everything, including people,  that would trigger me to want to smoke and have access to it. The best thing I can say is have someone who supports your decision around because there were days I wanted to say fuck it!

Answer

My mom smoked for 15 years and tried quitting 100+ times. Nothing worked until she tried using a vaporizer.
She started by using the liquids that had a higher nicotine content, like 16mg, and slowly worked her way down the line (12, 8, 6, 3, and finally 0)
She said it was cheaper in the long run, after buying the actual vape device thing. She also really loved that there were so many different flavors to choose from. 
It might be something worth looking into!

Answer

I know people who have used Chantix successfully, and there are some clever apps to help you quit that track how much time and money you are saving each day you don't smoke for extra motivation

Answer

Take it one day at a time, if need be one minute at a time. Try nicotine gum when u have cravings. Not the best gum but helps. Tell yourself how great of a job ur doing when you get past a craving. Tell those around you that you are quitting so they can keep you on track. I smoked on and off for 12  years and tried chantex (gave me horrid dreams) and Wellbutrin (made cigarettes taste but but felt numb like a zombie) and nothing worked until I made up my mind for me to quit and used gum. I know many who quit using a vape but then they got hooked on vaping. GL mind over matter
