Previous quit smoking attempts taught me that triggers are the worst. So, with quit attempt, I decided to eliminate some triggers permanently each time. I figured even though I wasn't succeeding in quitting, I could at least make it easier for myself next time, and enough next times have built up that this time has been a lot easier. For many years I've not smoked inside the house, nor inside the car. If I wanted a smoke I had to get off my backside and go outside for it, no matter what the weather. That removed a massive amount of triggers right from the start, and it also made the air in the house healthier for myself and everyone else to breathe. I then made a point of not smoking whilst walking. It would leave me shorter of breath when I did that, so I stopped doing that. My next quit attempt left me with the habit of leaving my smokes at home if I was leaving the house for less than 6 hours.
