This is a really strange habit to have. I mean, I can live without the nicotine. But there's also that feeling of having the smoke in my lungs, and every time I've failed to quit it was because I couldn't overcome the desire to feel that again. Pretty messed up, huh? Under normal circumstances we avoid inhaling smoke because it's bad for us. So what's with this urge I have to slowly suffocate myself, and how can I overcome it?  |
Before you attempt it make sure you change your habits for a month or so prior, with me I automatically lit up every time I had a coffee, so I had to make sure I didn't have one with a coffee, this was actually harder to do than quitting the smokes!!
Once done I then purchased patches, took my last cigarette at night, threw the packets out went to bed, in the morning applied the patch, remember that during the night you don't smoke so don't wear the patch then!!
That was 15 years ago, and I had a dozen or so attempts before, I can honestly say that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be!!
