Well done Mustard.

I've tried numerous times and had all the treatments available but failed every time.  I also realised that with the treatments, tablets etc,  I no longer had an addiction, but couldn't break the habit of wanting to light up. 

The january before last I decided to try again, but rather than fail again I set my target lower.  I cut down from 25 a day to 8 or less.   8 is the max I allowed myself, with a vape in between - so a lot less smoking, but the habit still being satisfied.  Some days I only had 4 cigs, so I guess I averaged 6 overall.  

Total success with that - never went over 8 for the whole year.  So this year my max is 6.  Success so far.  Maybe in 5 years time I'll have weaned myself off them completely. So although I haven't given up, I too am feeling chuffed with my efforts, and I feel physically better too.
