What did you do to help you quit smoking?

I’ve finally have decided to take the plunge. I’m going to go cold turkey. Tomorrow is my start date. I have convinced my husband to join me as well.
I’ve done cold turkey before and it wasn’t difficult but I choose a very stressful time to do it. My husband was retiring and starting a new job and we were purchasing a new home and I was also starting a new job.
Not to mention, 2 months of the city tearing up my lawn and dumping 2 tons of gravel on my nice new lawn. The first 4 months was easy but the new home being destroyed really made everyday stressful.
By the end of 6 months my stress levels were through the roof.
I think this time we are in a very stable time in our life and it may me a bit easier to stay quit.
The worst part for me quiting isn’t the nicotine. I didn’t even need to have a nicotine patch the last time. The doctor said I bearly had any nicotine in me so I would not need it. I didn’t even suffer from nicotine withdrawl.
My problem is having and holding a ciggarette and fighting years of habit.
I would appreciate real suggestions. Thank you all.
