How to quit smoking for good? -
I.ve tried pills, patches, gums and natural supplements and they all don-t work any suggestions on how to quit smoking for good?
I need to quit to , - will power plays a big part , but I just don-t seem to have enough. They just had a segment on our local news about quiting - gave this # 1-800-Quit-Now. I haven-t called it yet , but I am going to - see if they have something that will help that I like you haven-t tried. Hope it helps at least one of us , but better yet , both.*
hi pisces..
you sound like me.. i tried most of the methods available at one time or another, would get distracted and get of on my dosage, or forget to put on a fresh patch ect..
to make a long story short the thing that finally worked for me, was support through nicotine anonymous.. the support of other quitters, as well as those who had achieved abstinence was a great tool..
i haven-t had a cig in over 5 years, after smoking for over 40 years.. meetings are held in many areas, and a number of voice meetings are held daily on the internet.. you are welcome at meetings before a quit is attempted.. in the end there is really no wrong way to quit, good luck with your quit!!
Will power. Stay away from family, friends, work (of possible), school (if possible) who smoke. I do the whole gum thing. Not the smoking gum either. I smoked menthols, and so when I am having a nicotine fit, I pop in a piece of gum, breathe in the -menthol- feeling, hold my breath, and exhale. I usually need to do it several times before the feeling goes away. Another thing to try is go jogging, hit a punching bag, sports, anything that is physical to try to get your mind away from it.
Hey pisces,
I-ve tried just about every method there is out there and there is only one I can recommend - NLP! It eliminates the cravings.
Gum patches and all the other just did not cut it for me as well, not to mention cold turkey which was the hardest, I even tried the electric cig and it is just no match to the real thing.

OK... I had smoked for 18 years and quit cold turkey! It is will power, and the desire to want to quit. Here-s my journey.
I decided, for various reasons, I was done. I didn-t WANT to quit but I knew I HAD to quit. So I smoked every one before I went to bed. Then I started out the next day with NO cigarettes. I thought the first day was hard but let me tell you day two was worse, three was even worse and 4 was hell! I kept going no matter how hard it was. I was in physical pain, emotionally depressed, and at times I thought I was going crazy when I would have panic attacks. I had no idea you could have such severe withdraws from cigarettes, but it depends on the addiction. I made it through the worst day and after that... mind over matter. The pain goes away and the mental I could handle! 90% of all long term ex smokers quit cold turkey. Just set yourself a goal of getting through 4 days. If it doesn-t get easier then make yourself a deal that you will get a pack, and limit yourself to two a day. That way you can get through that 4 days then your home free!
will power, will power, will power.
You can-t look at it long term. It-s a decision you have to make everyday, 100 times a day. -I-m not going to have a smoke-
It-s not easy, and there is no miracle cure or solution. Only will power.

Try hidding them or put them out of sight. Moreover, find a hidding spot in your car - forget about them on purpose.Also don-t hang around ppl who smoke until you-ve quitted over 2 weeks.
If nothing is working.. like in your case.... Will power is what can help you.. You are not willing to do it.. otherwise one or other thing works in most of the cases.
