I am stepping myself down with nicotine patches and it is going well, but is far from easy or perfect. I too want to quit for good this time and have many great reasons to do so. I have sleep apnea, atherosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, and COPD. I am already on oxygen at night and I just don't want to die at age 54.
These are my great motivators and I find that with the nicotine replacement patch, the withdrawal is easier to handle.
I started praying and asking for prayers before I began to quit and I believe this has been a major help. Still, I will tell you when it comes to addiction anything positive that helps, well, ...you might want to just go for it!!!
Far be it from me to tell you how to do it, but anything positive that works is good. I am willing to try just about anything at this point and I am so grateful for the support here on the forum. It does make a difference.
Wishing you all the best and much continued success,
Lion
