How to quit smoking???

[kc0iet]

Hi All,

I just wondered if some of you that have managed to quit smoking might share how you did it. What worked for you? What helped? What didn't? Any suggestions at all!

I have smoked for 35 years! I finally got an appointment with a surgeon to review my options for a complex revision surgery, but the nurse let me know in the first phone call that this doctor requires all of his patients to quit smoking before he will consider surgery! Now, I know that I can cut down, I already have, but I really don't know if I can quit. I would like to, but I did quit once several years ago for about six months and I was impossible to live with. Heck, I didn't even like me during that period of my life! So, I quit quitting!

Any wisdom appreciated.
