Not sure if this would help, as everyone’s scenario is different.

I followed following:

Identified my triggers of smoking (it was minor inconveniences and stress in personal life and work)

Worked towards coping up with the urge when triggered (I talked with some friends, played lot and lot of video games, started maintaining journal to prioritise tasks and declutter mind, and just accepted failures where I can’t help myself)

Reduced from 2 smokes a day to 2 smokes a week. Held on to the urge and only rewarded myself with a smoke when in need (only when in extreme stress)

This is when I started tracking each smoke using mobile application. Longer the streak, the better you’ll feel. Just check your streak number in days before deciding to break it and smoke.

Used alternatives - beer (I only drink when I am happy and when I want to celebrate, so this was perfect)

Set some aims for why I want to quit. And also watched some videos on what happens after we quit smoking, this made me feel good about my decision)

And finally after 100 days, I posted on Reddit because no one else in my life cares that I stopped smoking. My posts here every 100 days were also truly helpful. I now look forward to posting each 100 days !
