This video is about quitting sugar, but it mentions a part from Alan Carr's book that helped my boyfriend quit smoking. Realizing it isn't making you calmer, but actually just restarting the cycle of ups and downs while steadily going downhill. (the part with the graph) https://youtu.be/olEMIohTgzQ?t=3m18s https://youtu.be/olEMIohTgzQ?t=3m18s Also for him he did the "don't break the chain" method. Bought a paper calendar, a pen, and a red and green marker. Week one was 8 cigarettes per day, week 2 was 7 cigarettes per day, etc. You write down that number with the black pen through the calendar so you know what your goal is. Exception being for 2 weeks you do 2 cigarettes per day, and for 3 weeks you do 1 cigarette per day because when it's that low you are fighting more of the mental aspect. Then every day at the end of the day, exactly midnight you can put a a big green checkmark if you kept to the number, or a big red X if you didn't. The idea is that you never want to break that chain of green checkmarks. He hasn't smoked in a few years now. :)
