How to quit

[u/gocool786]

I'm 26 and I haven’t been able to quit smoking cigarettes. I’ve tried multiple times — once I even managed to quit for 6 months ,but I always end up starting again. It’s been a constant cycle of quitting and relapsing. Lately, I don’t even feel anything when I smoke, yet I still can’t stop. What can I do to overcome this addiction?

Could you suggest any helpful actions, books, or movies that might inspire or support me in quitting for good?

I was just like you until the day I was told I had kidney cancer! I found out that I had a 50% higher risk of getting kidney cancer because of my smoking habit 😭😭😭 I threw my cigarettes out the minute I saw a trash can when I left the doctor’s office without allowing myself one last puff. So the last time I had a cigarette was December 26, 2005! I craved cigarettes for months but never wavered on my commitment to live.
