I want to quit smoking: What worked for you?

I used a patch for about a week and then went cold turkey. Cold turkey is the quickest way to stop smoking. Depending on your strength of character, determination and physical make-up will also determine how successful you will be. I was a very heavy smoker, two packs a day for 35 years. But I did it. If I did it, you can!

Congratulations, @bth001. What motivated you to quit?

Determination and hydration. I was a pack + a day 40 years ago. I had just returned to work for a company where I had previously worked. While I was gone they had changed the policy to no longer allowing smoking inside the building. I smoked my last three cigarettes, crumpled up the package and began an intense hydration practice. Between determination and an intense will I stopped. Have never gone back.
