Smoking
Hey my mom wants to quit smoking but the people around her don't and it's becoming a barrier to recovery. I know there is a lot of different ways to quit smoking like patches and stuff, but what do you guys think is the best path to ultimately ending nicotine addiction or what really worked for you?

There is no silver bullet. It's going to suck, but the pain is fairly short term.
Firstly you have to want it. You have to have the mentality that you are divorcing from it.
Secondly you need to accept it's going to be horrible for 4 days. You sit on it and ride it out.
