I know it’s gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.

Trouble quitting cuz it’s something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can’t find a habit to replace it with.

    Quit specific cigarettes. One at a time.

    No more “after meal” cigarettes. Ooh, that’s rough man.

    Okay, now, no more “after work” cigarette.

    No more “responding to frustration” cigarette.

    No more coffee cigarette.

    No more drunk cigarette.

    You’re probably more addicted to smoking in the scenes/scenarios/circumstances you find yourself in the most frequently than you are to smoking cigarettes. So quit one at a time rather than “smoking” all at once.

    There is a lot of solid research behind this method. I wonder if thinkofanewwaytoquit.org still exists 🤔
