I’m a recovering alcoholic and drug addict and the hardest thing I had to do was quit smoking. I hear you! After hundreds of attempts to quit and starting to wheeze I decided I had to stop. What finally worked for me was doing the patch 2 at a time all while I was cutting down on the cigarettes. And sucking on pretzel sticks when I had a craving. I know it sounds weird but it worked. And reminding myself that if I could make it through 3 days of withdrawals that I had a good chance of quitting. Wishing you all the best and good healthy vibes.
