Quit while on holidays

I decided when I headed off on holidays for 10 days with 4 non smokers (one being my partner) that it would be my best chance to quit. I bought a box of patches and used them for s few days but it was hot and swimming all the time I couldn’t keep it on! Back home now and it’s harder but I’m keeping busy and distracting myself. I’m determined to do it. I’ve given up a lot of times for long periods but I know I just can’t have that one puff. For me it’s all or nothing so I’m choosing nothing.

A similar thing worked for me. I went on a 7 day vacation with my 9 year old son and it just so happened I did not smoke those 7 days. While on the trip I decided to quit and today I am 51 days quit
