COPD and Can’t Commit to Quitting Smoking

I am still smoking. I've tried various prescription meds. Antidepressants. Apps. Books. Websites. Facebook groups. Nicotine replacement (gum, patches, toothpicks .. ) Acupuncture. Pneumonia. Meditation. Hypnotherapy. I did quit, probably 12 years ago.. actually several times.. as recently as 3 months ago.. and here I am. I think, for me, it's a matter of just saying no - and I have to get up and do something - and don't answer the door when a heavy smoker comes to visit. I have thrown away all smoking paraphernalia. I've smoked right down to nothing; then get that anxiety that I don't have any. It's psychological, I'm sure. I think I just need to quit. Sunshine and fresh air helps immensely.

@blhardin When I first quit I had to avoid going into the gas station so I wouldn’t see all the cigarettes behind the cashier. I just paid at the pump. It gets better the longer you quit.
