I'm a recovering drug addict, I'll have 8 months clean on Oct. 27th. I'm 27 with COPD and have been trying to quit smoking for a few years, I've tried the inhalers, the patches, the gum and Chantix and nothing has helped. The Vivitrol shot has lessened the nicotine cravings but no matter how hard I try I still can't completely stop smoking cigarettes. I've been smoking cigarettes since I was 7 years old and am finally down to around 3 - 5 a day but the stress keeps getting the best of me. Anyone have any suggestions for me please? I need help.
Education is the key to a successful quit.
Start first, by educating yourself about nicotine addiction.
