This is how I managed to quit smoking after I have been a smoker for about 9 years and tried everything to quit with no success.
I had tried numerous times to quit smoking with the patches but that failed. So what did I do? I asked my mother to buy me the patches because I knew that if someone else I care about is spending their hard earned money on me, it made me feel that i owe it to them to take the patches seriously. My ONLY addiction is cigarettes. I went ahead and bought myself a hookah. The first 3 days that I quit smoking (by having a patch on) I had one hookah in the evening. After 3 days I didn't even need the hookah anymore. The good thing about the hookah is that it's a pain in the neck to set up and plus I am too lazy for it. If you can get through the first 3 days it will ONLY get easier. I am now over 5 weeks without smoking and I am NOT even using the patch anymore.
Another method that you can use to try and quit smoking is you can go and buy yourself an Electronic Cigarette. I quit for 9 days when I had the electronic cigarette. You can youtube search 'electronic cigarettes' to learn and watch how electronic cigarettes work, or you can google search electronic cigarettes.
I have been a smoker for 9 yrs and I ALWAYS had a cigarette when I was on the phone. I wasn't just addicted to the nicotine in the cigarette but I was ALSO sooo used to holding a cigarette when I was on the phone. It was GREAT using the electronic cigarette, but I wanted to break having to constantly have something in my hand. Now when I talk on the phone, I wave my hands all over the place.
Also avoid all smokers and all places that you feel you usually need a cigarette most. When you feel you have more self control and are ready to hang out with others, do so. If a sudden urge for a cigarette kicks in, then encourage yourself why you don't need that cigarette and the benefits of NOT having one. You can tell yourself that you came that far without one why go back to it. You can tell yourself that you want a healthy child. You can tell yourself that it's costing you a lot of money that can be spent on more important and wiser things.
I hope that my info helps to save someone elses life. (hopefully yours)
