What have u x-smokers tried that worked and was cheap??

Question

I need to stop. My lungs hate me, my throat hurts, Im tired all the time and low energy, my back hurts like this is stupid. I can deal with the physical withdrawal symptoms but I can't mentally get thinking about a cigarette out of my mind. It is like when u were 14 and u fell in love for the first time and couldn;'t stop thinking about that person. Not to say I am in love with ciggys but I can't get the thought out of my head. I have no self control and am poor so how do i quit. This is so stupid I thought I was stronger than this. HMMMMMM....what have u x-smokers tried that worked.
Also I have quit before but my boyfriend didn't last and started again and then so did I. How do u quit with a boyfriend who is there all the time and smokes anyway.

Answer 1

cold turkey worked for me and it cost 0$

Answer 2

Ill second HEYNOW,RN on that one. Cold turkey is the only way to go. Are ya gonna spend the rest of your life as a Victorious conqueror of yourself, or a cowering, wimpering failure.Only you know the answer to that. Ya need to rise to the occasion and not be a pussy. Yes it will be hard, but as the old saying goes "when the going gets tough.......the tough get going." I gave up 20 yrs ago after smoking 1-1/2 to 2 packs a day for over 12 years.I tried everything, from patches to filters and even hypnosis, but nothing worked until I just worked up the courage and went cold turkey.20 years later I couldnt be healthier, havent been to a doctor for years, and havent even had a Flu for nearly 15 years now.
