How to quit Smoking by Brandon Rogers

"I finally kicked tobacco."

How I did it: After receiving a lecture from my 10 year old for the umpteenth time I decided it was time for me to make some positive changes in my life. I removed all my earrings, donated 16 inches of hair to locks of love and finally got a "grown up" haircut at age 34. In addition to the image change I also quit smoking. All of these things were on my daughter's list of things I needed to change.

Lessons & tips: Find a reason that matters to you. In my case it was being a better example for my daughter. 

Resources: I used the Nicotine Patch, it really took the edge off. I'd tried to quit cold turkey 3 times before but it never stuck.

Good for you, this is a tough one. It’s been a few years and there are still days here and there that I want a cigarette. Just keep going one day at a time.
