Id like to quit smoking...i know different things work for different people? -
i-d like to hear some different ideas and see if they help me out. i-m having a heck of a time quitting! thanx for any and all your help!!!
Just wash your walls once after about a year that will help you with the idea to quit I also liked the answer by varakei, makes some sense. I sure wish you luck, I haven-t had much luck at it, but who knows with time you just never know what can be done. One habit broken, then another. You know how it works. One step at a time I guess. Good Luck to you....Just dont do it right before the end of April baddddd timing
People I know have quit with the -patch-, here is a good website with many options and discussion
u can do it, just put ur mind to it
i tied the patch but I couldn-t keep it lit...
then I just quit cold turkey...
I tried a few times before I finally quit. The method that finally worked for me was slowly weaning myself. I cut down to 5 cigarettes a day and then went from 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 to 0 over the course of a month. It-s been over two years now since I quit.
Oh, and I know several people who have quit successfully using Zyban.
cold turkey. have sunflower seeds ready. pay attention to when you are craving. is there high stress or any stress. is there anxiety? is it a time you usually smoke? eg: with coffee in the morning, change your habits. have a coffee on the deck in the morning if you can. or when ever you smoke. do something different at that time. start exercising more. will get your lungs back into shape and be a good diversion for your mind when you are craving. drink lots of water. drink some water when you are feeling agitated from the withdrawal
dont quit its a trick.
This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.
I quite smoking 2 years ago
Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.
Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”
The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!
Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….
TO BE FREE!
What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.
The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.
No Gimmicks!
The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!
The Allen Carr Method is successful because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Medical Endorsements
A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”
Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees
“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London
”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP
“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”
Celebrity Endorsements
-His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson
“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins
GOOD LUCK!
I stopped 3 weeks ago. Cold turkey at that.
My suggestion is walk around couple of times a day. get alto of sugarless gum. and find someone who needs to quit to, so you can do it together. Good luck!!!!
I asked the doctor to prescribe Wellbutuen for me.
I set a quit date for two weeks later and then started taking the med. when my stop date arrived I didn-t smoke. It seemed easy I was proud of myself and enjoyed being a non-smoker.
Three months later I decided to smoke with a friend during a work break. Well it got me started back. It was never easy again after that.
I struggled for thee next year(still taking the med) to stop again. I would stop for a month then three weeks then three days.
This time the last one was Dec 9th. It has not been as easy as the first time but I am determined.
DON-T GIVE UP!!! Keep trying..The failed times are practice.
Keep hard candy around. (I had sores in my mouth from so much candy)
I have now been able to stop taking the med and I am smoke free.
I never realized how much cigarettes stink.
I am saving some money
keep trying...good luck.
Don-t worrie my dad had that, just go and ask the doctor!!
(by the way my dad didn-t really have that)!!
