You got this!!! Stay strong.
My dad and his brother quit 40 years ago at the same time. Dad quit coffee also since it made him want a smoke. I think quitting made him a much meaner crazier person for the next 50 years of his life, especially when his brother had no problem quitting and would rub it in.
I've worked with smokers and we always took a break every couple hours so they could get a quick few puffs. The alternative, not letting them smoke, would have resulted in big trouble ! A powerful addiction.

Just remember, no matter how many times you have to try, you only need to win once, the LAST time !
Cold turkey. Just bumped my fat ass in my recliner with ash tray next to it. It might get me to hack up a tar ball. I guess if one day at a time works for drunkards it will work for smoking.
Seeing as I sold a few things recently perhaps I should lay out $9.00 this morning for the pack I don’t buy.
That's a pretty good idea.
Stack the money you didn't spend, where you used to keep the cigarettes.
If you have not decided that you want to be a non-smoker then I will bet against you. Before a person can quit smoking they have to decide that they don't want to smoke ever again.
Most people say that they are trying to quit. I don't know of anyone being successful in quitting by trying to quit. By saying that they are trying to quit they are giving themselves an out because they are only trying.
A lot of smokers say that it is hard to quit. I quit smoking about 11 or 12 years ago. And it was the easiest hard thing that I have ever done.
I hope that you are successful. I love it when a person quits!
Just remember that sometime in the first few months you will have the thought that you could smoke just one. Don't do it!

I quit a 2-1/2 pack a day Camel habit 33 years ago with much help from the higher end of the Scoville scale. It works. It really does.
Feel that need for a smoke?
Nervous or anxious and need a cig??
Having bad nicotine fits???
Fire something hotter than hell into the mouth, chew and swallow. Ohhhhhh, jeez! That hurts!! Right?
But inly for a few seconds. Then.......your
body immediately produces endorphins to kill the pain and "put out the fire".
Endorphins also do a fabulous job on erasing the body's need for nicotine. The need you feel, that hollow spot in your gut goes away almost instantly.
I kept a bag if chips and Pace hit salsa in the fridge at work, a small bottle of Tabasco in my pocket.
Yeah, it sounds hokey (my doctor thought so too, until he tried it and was able to quit his habit!) but it does work.
Wont cost ya much to try it either.
Best of luck. You can do it!!

Problem with that my guys can’t handle spicy very well any longer. Even small amounts like Tabasco on a hard boiled egg comes back to haunt me.

This is one of my favorite quotes from the English Biologist Huxley.
I often think of this when I need to do something and don't want to.
Take of it what you want, but it all comes down to discipline.
Motivation will always fail you.
Discipline is what separates successful people from unsuccessful people.
Decide NOT to smoke. End of story

My dad quit smoking in 1967. He just put them down and never picked them up again. But, when he had a craving for a smoke, he would pop a lemon drop in his mouth and lost the craving for a smoke. He always kept a bowl of lemon drops with in arms reach.
I used bupropion/zyban. It helped alot. I smoked for 10 years and quit in 2006. I started again in 2017 after the egg donor told me she wanted a divorce. I quit a yr ago. Honestly I don't know if I could have stopped again on my own
It helps if you quit with someone you care about. My wife and I quit together when we got engaged 47 years ago. We did it. You can too. It is tough and it gets tougher for a while before you get past the urges. Cigarettes were 50 cents a pack back then.
Didn’t even crave one yet, this morning. Tomorrow we ride to Waco in the wife’s car that stanks like an ashtray.
