First, let me say that i'm not the kind of guy who feel ashamed of smoking, neither the kind always voicing he will quit but never do.
It's the very first time that i consider seriously to end my habit.
I'm smoking since i'm 14 (1984) and i will soon celebrate my 25th smoker anniversary... which happend sometime in 2009.
Few years ago, i was saying to myself that 25 years of smoking was enough. The idea grown and while i'm suspecting it will be hard, i'm more and more convinced that i will give a serious try at quitting.
With the plethora of methods to quit smoking, i was wondering if one worked better for you?
With the (partial) infos i collected, so far, patches seems a progressive way to go. Not sure yet if that's the way i will go.
Younger, i had a **** addiction and i quitted the cold turkey way and it worked. Took over a year to no longer have withdrawal symptoms. I was decided and confident i will be able to quit and it have been enough.
I dont think i have the same kind of iron will regarding nicotine - and my motivations to stop are not as solid, which makes my auto-motivation a tad shaky.
So, you that have been able to stop, how did it worked for you? Have you been able to do it only with an iron will or you needed some kind of help or support? Which method was effective?
Thanks in advance for your inputs :hatsoff:
