Good luck!!
All quits are different and personal all I can tell you is here is what worked for me after several failed quits over the years.
First and foremost, Quit because you WANT to quit, be sick of smoking, sick of being sick, sick of spending all of that money on cigarettes, sick of stinking like cigarettes, sick of being short of breath. Sick of all the "wonderful" things that smoking brings to your life.
You have to quit because you want to quit, not you have to quit or someone else wants you to quit.
Work on your triggers like this site recommends, don't have anything "automatic" about smoking, no ashtrays in the same place all of the time, keep your cigarettes in a different place, don't light one when you first get up, don't talk on the phone with a cigarette, don't drive with one. Break all of these habits first, then quit.
Embrace your quit, be HAPPY you have quit. Don't go into it thinking "Oh this is going to be horrible, my best friend the cigarette is leaving me, its going to be horrible"
Instead, think Yeah, I'm not smoking anymore, I'm not wasting all of that money, I'm chosing life instead of smoking.
I was smoking 3 packs a day, and have been smoking for 38 years, today is the 4 weeks smoke free. I'm using Nicotine gum, and its working for me this time. I've tried NRT before and still failed this time I have my mind in the right place and its working.
I wish you the best, find what works for you, read all the blogs you can, there are some really GOOD ideas out there!!
