How do u quit smoking? what is the best way?? Success stories.. what works what doesnt !!? -
Desperatley want to stop finding it more and more difficult it scares me to think I will never quit!!! HELP!!
i quit a few months ago. was smoking 10 a day. gradually cut back. i didnt use any patches or anything, just willpower. so cut back. till i was only smoking 1 right before bedtime which was the toughest one to give up cuz i felt like i couldnt fall asleep. u have to talk to urself. like when ur really really craving u have to remind urself that it-s not going to kill u. keep urself bz. remind urself that it-ll pass n ur doing it for urself n it-s going to be worth it in the end, etc etc etc...control the impulse, take a step back, think, have conversations with urself, find something to do. smokers punctuate their lives with cigarrettes. u need to break that cycle of reliance for regulation. believe in urself. u dont need that cigarette. good luck :)
Fear of success is the biggest obstacle to making a serious attempt.
Your dependency-conditioned mind is likely terrified at the thought that life without smoking won-t be worth living, or that you-ll leave part of you behind. But within just two weeks you-ll begin to develop a sense of both the gradually emerging beauty that is -you,- and a growing feeling that life without nicotine might actually be easier.
Quitting can be really difficult. The most important thing, for me though, is having a reliable support system. You can try all sorts of strategies, but the moment you feel the urge to smoke and there-s no one there to stop you from lighting a cigarette, then you-re back to your old ways in a snap. This is especially true if you-re surrounded by people who smoke. So it would be really help you to ask for support from your friends and family. It sounds cheesy, but you-ll really need it. In addition, women smokers have specific reasons on why they smoke. Here read this article, it might help you further:

Best of luck! You can do it!
There are two natural supplements that help calm the cravings, and keep you from wanting to commit murder!
Gotu Kola and Blue Green Algae. They both address addictions, and go right to the heart of why you feel the need to smoke in the first place. They are -Brain Food-. Initially, they won-t just magically take away the desire, but they will take the edge off. Algae is best in the day, Gotu Kola at night. It takes a couple of weeks before you start feeling really GOOD, though.
I hate pharmaceuticals, but I saw Chantix work like a charm on my friend who smoked for more than 40 years. It gives you weird dreams, but I-ve observed that it does work.
