Quit smoking cold turkey and dont think i can do it please help? -
so i have decided to quit smoking and im having a hard time with the cravings and dont know what to do and i have surpport from one person my bff every one else keeps being negitive saying ill never make it how can i do this and get through the bitchness of it please help
I stopped smoking 3 years ago. It was a matter of self control to me. I would literally tell myself NO! You have to get through just Today!!
I would keep myself busy. The hardest part is when I was upset over something or when I was driving.
I almost gave in when I was really upset but I would still have to literally talk myself through it. Asking myself how would I feel about myself tomorrow after messing up over such a temparary thing.
Everyday that I went without a smoke was one more day that I could rub in my husbands face :) (He was still smoking!). I would be like -I haven-t had a smoke in 5 days!-
After a while They even started to stink to me. I Could not stand to be around them!
My husband was so impressed with my ability to quit (and a little of my nagging) That he quit a couple months after I did!
NoW I Never even think about it unless I am around it. Usually When I smell it I think Gosh they are killing me with second hand smoke! But sometimes I would love to take it from them and run and smoke it up!! SELF CONTROL!!
My grandFather Died of Lung Cancer he smoked his whole life. Its a BAD way to Die.
After I quit within a couple weeks My sinuses where trying to get better because they were use to all of the smoke. I could hardly Talk. It is amazing what I had been doing to myself!
Anyway after that I never had anymore problems.
And actually now I rarely ever get sick!
I can-t help with the B*tchiness. I have always had that.........Still don-t know how to get rid of it!! :)
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!
YOU CAN DO IT YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!! Show those Negative People Who you are and How Strong You Can Be!!

As I sit here, with my laptop, and my oxygen tube in my nose, I feel the need to answer you. I smoked for many, many years, without ever stopping and now I am being treated for COPD, which is another way to say emphysema and bronchitis. I do okay, with my three different breathing medicines, as long as I don-t catch cold, but when I do, it is bad! Others have to have oxygen all of the time, but I am not at that point, but I do have to use it all night and part of the day. I wish I had never smoked, but an emergency ambulance trip to the hospital, two years ago, scared me into finally quitting. I still crave it, but NEVER AGAIN! I wish you luck....it is very, very hard, but try to imagine being limited in your activity, when you are older. It sucks!
well you and i have one thin gin common. we are both tryin g to quit smoking . I found that the best thing that works for me is i keep a one gallon Ice tea jug full of vegetables. the next thing i do wheni get cravings is go for a walk or find an activity that i enjoy. keep listening to your bf and also lasrt drink plenty of water each day because that flushes your system out. each day will get easier and easier as the weeks go by. so keep your chin up i hagin in there with you as well
