Everyone is different, but I realized that my first step is that I had to WANT to quit. I'm on 2 years, 5 months, and 21 days (yes, I use an app called "Smoke Free" as I get geeked off data and it shows a lot of cool shyt about how your body heals, how much money you save, and how many cigarettes you haven't smoked).
I smoked for over 20 years, but I quit using Nicorette and phased off that after about a month or two. I'm essentially addicted to chewing gum now, but I'll take that over smoking.
shyt was the hardest thing I've done, I still miss smoking to this day, but I romanticized it. It's doable but I think the desire to quit has to come first.
exactly. it wasn't until i felt like i needed to quit that it was able to stick. when i got to that place? i didn't care about how hard it was. shyt was happening.
i also drastically cut my alcohol down to 1 or 2 drinks a month. if that. that was the other major factor for me, because it cut out the moments where i was more likely to just say fukk it and smoke because i was drinking or drunk.
