How did you stop smoking?

Hi, hello,
hm.. I hardly remember, but it was thanks to my better half. He just didn't like me to smoke, so I stopped. The worst time was first month, maybe two. I simply couldn't stop think about cigarettes. But it's behind me now. I think so.. because I'll be smoker to the end of my life. That's a pity. I really regret time when I was smoking but what can I do now? Just never again do that.

I just stopped. Just like that. I had been thinking of it for a long time, but just the other day I decided - "okay, I won't smoke anymore FROM NOW ON." And I didn't try to smoke less or replace cigarettes with something else...
It wasn't easy, well, in fact I felt horrible for some time (I was really upset, everything and everyone seemed soooooo annoying to me, and the only thing I needed and thought of was just to have a smoke) but just after two weeks I started feeling better. And now it's been about 7 months since I'm a non-smoker. I sometimes miss a cigarette with my morning coffee though...

Morning coffee is very veeeery treacherous I've always been smoking with my breakfast and in the evenings. That was one of my biggest addictions. And now I'm addicted to singing. For sure - more healthy, isn't it?

Man, I am trying to stop smoking for the millionth time. Even after having 2 kids- and quitting cold turkey the moment I found out I was pregnant, both times, and remaining smoke free for over a year, both times- I STILL went back to smoking. It is so frustrating because I LIKE it, but I know my husband doesn't. And I don't smoke at home, or in the car if my kids are going to be in it... so I basically only get to smoke on the way to and from work. 2 cigarettes a day and I can't give it up???!! Agh!

That was a less than helpful answer, huh?

I stopped when I calculated how much money I am loosing on cigarettes and never started to smokeing again

As this post has been bumped already, I'll just mention that it has been 53 days 6 hours and 49 mins since my last cigarette.
Go me...Go me...Gooooooooooo me!
All it took was the thought of upsetting my Daughter and Son, by making them watch my painful death from some form of cancer.
Used Nicorette "Quick spray" fewer and fewer doses each week, now on just 3-4 sprays a day, and should be off that soon too.
Now if I could just lose 4 stone....
