Itâs tough to do! One craving at a time. The space between gets bigger, and eventually itâs not your all consuming thought. 11 years quit this week for me, and I still very very occasionally want one, but Iâm not having one!

Quitting smoking is the hardest fucking thing Iâve ever done. Nicotine is fucking evil, and Iâm tired of being beholden to itâs whims.
This is it, Iâm done. This shit sucks in every aspect.

It took me a hundred goes but I got there.

Do you/did you use any cessation aides or methods in particular? Iâm close to trying to quit - the rolling tobacco I used to get for about five quid back in the UK (around $10 aud) is now over $90 here for a smaller pouch. Vaping isnât for me I donât think. Anyway, good luck with it.

You can do it! It took me a few goes, and the thing that finally worked was cutting down the strength until they tasted too disgusting to smoke.

Good luck, you got this. I managed to quit by drinking bitter green tea. Instead of having a smoke, Iâd make a cuppa and let it steep for too long. After a while I associated the cravings with bitter tea and they somehow went away.

thatâs very clever

After many, many unsuccessful attempts I had my old GP suggest something like this. After 2 weeks or so, the nicotine addiction becomes psychological and not physical. Just had to trick my brain really.
