"All it takes is willpower"...Well, it's true, but it takes a whole heck of a lot of it. The best advice I can give is to find your motivation. Every person who successfully quits has a different motivation. Family, health, money, sex, whatever. Just know that you've got a big beast on your back and there's got to be a bigger drive to get rid of it. I've been quit for 7.5 years now. My motivation was my wife. She was torn up about me being a smoker and I didn't want to do that to her anymore. Cold turkey kicked it and am better for it.
May I ask if you still feel like smoking sometimes? I quit for about a year, then started, then kinda been on and off, and the need hasn't been there, but the wanting to has never truly left me
How long have you been smoking for? What kind of methods have you tried for quitting?
What worked for me was switching to e-cigs! I made the switch on January of 2013, and didn't really think about if I'd ever quit e-cigs or not. Last year, in December, I decided I'd try to switch from nicotine liquid to non-nicotine, then in March of this year I ditched the e-cigs completely. It has been ridiculously easy!
No where near as agonising as trying to stop smoking with nicotine patches or gum or cold turkey.
According to my E-smoker app, I have been nonsmoker for 911 days, and in this time I would have smoked 16398 real cigarettes! Those would amount to $4687, and I've spent $503 dollars on E-cigs, so I've saved $4184. Pretty nice, eh?
I would realy like to know how you managed to do that... I really want to stop and I need some tips.
