I, too, quit cold turkey a couple of years ago. No patches, no e-cigs, nothing.
My biggest downfall in my previous attempts was always the same thought I'm sure everyone has: "I'm just going to smoke one more and it will be my last one and then I'm done for good."
You just have to look at it objectively and tell yourself the truth - that last cigarette ever is not going to change anything. You're still going to want to smoke when you're done with it, so what's the point of even smoking that "last cigarette"?
Your mind is going to give you a thousand different reasons why smoking another cigarette is a good idea. You're going to find a thousand excuses for why it would be OK to smoke one more. Just man up and say no to yourself.
After a couple of months, you're going to look back and wonder how the **** it was even possible for you to smoke that much and think it was OK.
