I want to quit smoking again and could use some advice from people who've successfully done it.
A few years ago, I managed to quit cold turkey for 3 days, but I eventually gave in due to social influence and a lack of discipline on my part. I've been thinking of trying nicotine patches this time instead of relying on willpower alone.
Has anyone here successfully quit smoking using nicotine patches? What was your experience like? Did they help with cravings, and how long did it take before things got easier?
To be honest, I'm not feeling very confident about quitting, but I really want to stop. Lately I've been experiencing chest tightness, lower energy levels, and it's becoming harder to ignore the impact smoking is having on my health.
Any advice, success stories, or even hard truths would be appreciated.
