How I quit smoking with about 7 proven techniques on day 1. It's day 50 today.

I am just stepping down now to the step 3 nicotine replacement therapy patch of 7 mg dose of nicotine. I now have two weeks ahead of wearing this strength patch. Then I go nicotine free. I have 7 weeks now of not smoking. Today is day 50 smoke free.

I used these techniques on day 1
1. Nicotine replacement patches
2. Nicotine gum
3. Nicotine anonymous online meetings
4. Lessons from previous quit attempts like no coffee in the morning on day 1 as that was how I failed last time
5. Smokers help line 1-877-513-5333 quit coaches
6. Alan Carr’s book Quitting Smoking the Easy Way that explained the physical part is really not as bad as it seems.
7. I was studying an online Buddhist mediation course and mindfulness breathing really helped.
