What worked for you?

I am starting to no longer smoke on Tuesday. I have smoked since age am now 42.

There are so many success stories on here, people who see off week 2, week 5, week 10 and week 50. I need your advice.

I turn into a female dog when I stop and it is always the reasons I go back. I would appreciate any methods you have used to stay calm in this new reality, what worked for your, your tips and tricks.

I need to feel like i have an arsenal in my back pocket, and I will succeed.

It was slightly dramatic, but any advice would be so appreciated.

Update; 4 days 7 hours 34 minutes smoke-free. I am using bits of everyone's advice. I think the NRT has been the biggest help, and I am doing a quit course with the local health service, so I have free nrt and a quit adviser for 12 weeks, so I see her every two weeks.

Thanks so much to everyone for taking the time to share their advice, I know I am only at the start line, but I am so proud of myself.
