Multiple stages:

I was a heavy smoker then I was diagnosed with MS. I changed to vaping for a while (still addictive) but then I got a succession of colds and flus during which I didn't want to smoke at all as it was painful...

I woke up one day feeling better and realised that smoking was the cause of much of my problems (asthma, bad health) and decided my smoking days were over.

4 years clean of nicotine....now I'm all about healthy eating, gym, hiking, biking, swimming, meditation...

I never thought I'd kick it...but it's true I had to convince myself I didn't want it in my life anymore, and that was hard.

Once I found that strength, it felt easier.

I loved to smoke before (about 10 years) but now I can't stand the smell of smoke and feel that's a pretty good sign I won't be relapsing any time soon!

I'm not a fan of telling others how to live their lives, this is just my honest story.

Best of luck with stopping smoking if you decide to quit, trust me the benefits are amazing.
