I am realizing the mistakes Ive made in my last attempt that lasted a month. I was doing it all wrong but I am glad that I had it because I learned alot from it.
[b]Mistakes I Made on My Last Quit Attempt[/b]\
I used nicotine replacement therapy and didnt use it correctly, plus the nicotine replacement therapy didnt work for me
I was too confident and didnt take conscise care of my quit
I hung around with smokers way too early
I didnt plan what I would when I was having a craving due to stress
I didnt reward myself after awhile
I let junkie thoughts take over
I didnt read up on nicotine addiction much, didnt read online or any books so I didnt understand the nature of my addiction
I believed I could smoke just one and not get re-addicted
I didnt seek out much support
I drank too much in replacement of smoking, which lowered my inhibitions which I ended up smoking while drunk
I was exposed to smoking and cigarettes wayy too much I was working as a security guard and I had to search peoples cigarette packs which in turn triggered me insanely since half the people I checked smoked, had cigarettes on them etc!! ended up asking people for cigarettes!
Saw it as a willpower thing instead of easier than willpower since now Id much rather not smoke than smoke
