Has anyone ever quit smoking sucessfully? -
have you or someone you know ever quit smoking sucessfully? how did they do it?
Realize that the physical addiction lasts only three days!!!!!!!!!!!
After that it is all about getting over the habit of smoking when you drive or eat or have sex or wake-up. Learn to overcome the habit of putting something to your mouth. Idle hands. Get a hobby like carving wood. Good luck.
I quit smoking, and I bet you-re going think I-m crazy when I say how I did it. I switched to healthy electric cigarettes. They don-t cause cancer, are 1/4th the cost of regular cigarettes, don-t smell stinky (trust me you will agree cigarettes stink after you can smell again), and it still looks like you-re smoking (smoke, the feeling, and the lit tip). I know it-s hard to believe but this will show you what I-m talking about http://bit.ly/13XSOP (if you can-t click on it just copy and paste into the address bar of your browser).
Anyways, I tried to quit for 6 years before I found this. I used to think I couldn-t live without cigarettes. Have your cake and eat it too? Maybe. But I can live with that.
yes Jessica..
its never easy, but it is entirely doable.. i have been quit for over 5 years, after smoking for over 40.. not only that, but i personally know of hundreds who have quit... the method we used, was being members, of a support group.. the support of other quitters, as well as ,the experience, of older members, is a very strong incentive..
