Did you find you try to create drama when youre trying to quit smoking to give yourself an excuse to indulge? -
No. When I quit smoking I was too busy plotting on ways to steal a cigarette from my fiance. It was bad, but I tell you what. The first day was pure hell, the second day was okay, and after that some days I really want one but most I don-t even think about it. What I did was I weaned myself off. I-ve tried quitting cold turkey and absolutely couldn-t do it. I also tried the patch, that didn-t work either. So what I did was I went from one pack a day to half a pack for about a week. Then down to 5 cigarettes a day for about 2 weeks. Then I went to 4 for a week, then 3 for two weeks. Then when the rest of that pack was gone I quit (there was about a half a pack left). By the time I was on the last pack I was ready mentally and all I had to get over was the physical craving. Just remember that until you stop for good (no cheating) then you haven-t stopped. That really helped me out. I loved smoking, really loved it. And drinking, a lot. I quit doing both and it was damned hard but worth it. Good luck.
