4th time is the Charm?

So... I'm going to Try and quit smoking a 4th and hopefully final time... my other ones epically failed, the last time I went 3 months without a Cig, and then... I had a little too much to Drink and... found myself starting all over again... and yeah, anyone in here ever quit smoking and stayed that way?

I just got my girlfriend to quit smoking after four years of it...otherwise, nobody I know has ever succeeded.

same.

try to get someone to help you with it. makes it a little easier from what i've experienced seeing people try to quit. i don't know if the gum or patches work, unless you want to pull a 'thank you for not smoking' deal, and put so many patches on yourself that your system overloads, thereby making it so that if you smoke anymore after a stint in the hospital, you would die. thats pretty incentive

ive quit smoking like 4 or 5 times this year man. gotta find a replacement action like chewing gum to curve your cravings. otherwise you wont quit man. and that would be a bummer. good luck!

I can't seem to give up the left-handed cigarettes.

ive got something for your oral fixation.

I don't really know how people think its so hard to quit smoking.
My brother's done it three or four times already...how tough can it really be?

I quit smoking after many years and several attempts. I think what made it easiest for me was that I set rules that reduced my smoking and eventually, it just became not worth it. When my wife was pregnant, she quit and I quit smoking around her. If I wanted to smoke, I had to go into the garage. Once we had our daughter, I was only allowed to smoke outside on the back porch. Not so bad, but still, I found myself smoking less and less. Eventually, we moved to Ohio and it got less and less attractive to smoke when it got colder and colder. Towards the end, I was maybe smoking 3-4 cigarettes per day and one day when I was standing on the back step smoking, my 4 year old daughter asked me if I kept smoking was I going to die? I quit the next day and haven't had a cigarette since. My daughter turns 11 this July.

My Father got the hypnotism to quit smoking. 1 visit and he stopped.
