Any others using additional tools to quit smoking?

After 30 years of smoking I had a really hard time quitting. Smoking was part of me and who I was. Even though I'd switched to vaping I still didn't feel satisfied. For that first month I was really depressed and wanted to sleep all the time. Sleeping meant less time to think about smoking. At one point I was going to bed at 8, just so I could turn the brain off.

I really didn't have trouble with cravings just missed the habit of smoking.

Looking around on boob tube I found a hypnosis video. I thought what the heck, try it out. Every night before bed, I listen to this gentleman with good ear buds. Most nights, I'm so relaxed that I fall asleep to it. I swear by this and I know it's helped me over the hump!

Finally, after two months, I'm happy again and feel satisfied. I'm eating better, sleeping better and working out every day in the gym. Also, now that I'm hooked up with good e-products, I'm really excited about vaping and never imagined how pleasurable it can be.
If you too need some extra help, give it a try. It sure can't hurt

Glad you found something that worked for you. Thanks for sharing the link. I don't have problems that are vaping related, but I've always had trouble falling asleep for my whole life. I think I'll try it out just for bedtime relaxation.

Couldn't hurt.
I remember 30 years ago my friends dad used hypnosis on cassette tapes on one of them old school tape recorders.
We thought he was CRAZY but never seen him smoke.
Picture yourself on a cloud floating far far away... FLOATING, FLOATING.

Good post.

In the past: I've tried hypnosis, failed. Tried the patches and ended up in the ER from the latex. Tried Chantix 3 times, failed. Started vaping and quit right away. Go figure.

I have always had trouble sleeping but the winter is the worst for depression and anxiety. Even when I was a smoker it was very hard for me to get out of bed once I finally got to sleep in January & February. This was my first winter as a non-smoker in more than 30 years. I don't think it was any worse than before other than I didn't get sick from standing out in the cold smoking. I guess that actually makes it better! I still hate the month of February, though and am counting down the days until we can retire and move south of I-10.
