I smoked for 25 years. always said I would quit before i was 35 yrs old. Finally quit at forty. I read a book called quit and stay quit by terry redlin M.D. Book stayed in my bathroom for around 4 months before i started to read it.
It made me realize that i condsidered cigarettes my best friend. I didn't do anything in my life without them and based decisions on whether i could have my friend with me. No not that restaurant because no smoking, or no not that trip because i will be limited in smoking, or i hope this is over soon so i can have my friend. The book made you do exercises and write things out to get true meaning of your habit. It also explains that smoking is a drug. It makes you realize that cigarettes are not your friend.
I reduced over a period of three weeks until I was down to two a day. One day i had to go buy a pack and i just didn't .
Cigarette free for 3 1/2 years and would never allow another cigarette to touch my lips. I fianlly booted out my friend the free loader.
