Ex-smokers: How did you quit? How many times did it take before you were sucessful?How many cigarettes/packs did you smoke a day at the time of your quitting? I need to know this because I want to sucessfully quit for the new year, but I've tried so many times before and failed. I would like to know what worked for others and implement that in my cessation. I've already tried the patch and Zyban-not only did it not work, but I smoked more cigarettes after I returned to smoking.
What techniques did you use? How did you deal with situations/times you would normally smoke? Stress? Help a sistah out, please!!!!

i didn't smoke too many, about a half a pack a day. the first time i quit for at least a year. i went to mardi gras and smoked a whole pack in an hour and it was gross after that. i took it up again and really only smoked because it was something to do. i never smoked at home. only in the car and on smoke breaks at work. one day i just decided that it was really gross and i couldn't stand the taste of them anymore. i think i'm just one of the lucky ones.

I smoked for 38 years
I smoked Marlboro 3 packs a day
I tried and failed dozens of times
I finally quit 6 years ago
I used Welbutrin (purple pill) with 2% orange necoret gum. I would chew 4 to 5 pieces at a time. It took a combination of both 2-weeks and I new I beat it. I have no desire to smoke and I can be around other smokers. I don't believe on banning smoking by Big Brother.

Well, I was starting to have trouble inhaling so that helped me stop, but I bought lots of bags of candy and whenever I wanted a smoke, I popped a Jolly Rancher, M&M's Peanuts, etc in my mouth instead. I quit on the first try. I became a candyholic for about 2 weeks.

I used to smoke a pack or more a day.
What I did, I started smoking less of a cigarette--as in putting it out when I was only 3/4 of the way done with it. Then I would smoke 1/2, and just light up the butt and finish the other half.
Eventually it got to the point where I didn't even want one that badly. I've been quit from them for over 2 years now.
Best of luck to you!!
