@Time299it Welcome to the ex and congrats on your final quit. I get it. Took me 50 years and numerous attempts to be successful.
No matter how you choose to quit, cold turkey or with aids, you need to educate yourself about nicotine addiction and have a quit plan. I used Welbutrin and nicotrol inhalers for my final quit. Many have found success with knowledge and preparation. It took me 50 years and many attempts to finally get it. I went into my quits blindly and was never successful. In addition to some aids for my final quit, I found the Ex a week prior to my quit. For the first time I learned how to quit and had the support that was always lacking.
This link is a great place to start.
