Addiction, in a word. Try all options. Patches, accupuncture, gum, exercise. Good luck

I am a smoker. I too have tried many times to quit, over the years.
I looked back to see what age I started and, why. I looked back to recall what was going on in my life. At the time I was 12, it correlated to when my mother was constantly trying to commit suicide.

There for in my psyche, deeply ingrained, is the need for the calming influence of a cigarette.

Basically I think there is a need for getting to the core of the commencement of addiction of any kind and accepting and letting go of the pain that caused me to even find a release from it- smoking.

Don't worry it is a life long journey, any addiction is. Not many people understand that it is a thought pattern change that helps with smoking or any addiction for that matter. Humans are not only physical, they are mental, emotional and spiritual beings. Treat yourself kind.. Best of luck on your journey to find yourself.
