Anyone quit smoking here and has tips?
I need to quit smoking without crumbling into a big ball of anxious mess, to pay my university tuition.
I'm smoking less but my brain keeps thinking how unfair it is that I don't get my hourly nicotine supply.
Patches don't work. Lozanges just increase cravings. All the pharmaceuticals are too expensive anyway, or contain sugar which I don't eat, or contain sugar and are too expensive.
I need psychological tips.
One that works well, but I eventually cave, is to delay the smoke for 15 minutes at a time. It works well for about an hour, then I start getting nervous about it and cave.
I tried cold turkey like I did with booze and drugs, but didn't work. Really, you really wouldn't want to meet me in that state.
So I figure the only way is reducing it, one at a time. :confused:
So.. if you quit smoking how did you do it?
