How to quit smoking? Ive already tried, but when Im drank I cant resist? -
I know that the nicotine is harmful and so on
Very difficult to give up particularly when you-re out socialising / drinking. Isn-t it easier now that you can-t smoke inside pubs though? What about trying not to drink for a couple of weeks to break the habit?
Good luck! xx
Well, before I can answer this question, I need to know what you have already tried and how long the system worked for you.
Some tips:
1) never go cold turkey. this rarely works and is definitely not going to get great results in the long run.
2) the best way is to slowly reduce the amount of your addiction, in this case, nicotine, to the lowest amount possible (nicotine patches) or none at all, but this will take time and will get great results if you can keep your will power up!
3) if you cant get your mind around any of the above, maybe thinking about a person who lost their life to cancer from the carcinogens in cigarettes and tobacco, will keep you strong willing yourself away from turning out like that family member, friend or what not.
I use to smoke and tried to quit but failed I was hospitalized and wasn-t able to smoke last month so that made it easy but I cheated when I got out, So far it has been 7 days without smoking, you must have the will power. For me when I want to smoke I think of my mom who was a smoker and has COPD and is on oxygen. I think wow one day I will have my own set of Oxygen tanks if I don-t stop and it has helped. When you drink you tend to have less willpower so has the first person said Don-t drink
Hey myke,
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, 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.

it’s the one that got me off the cigs and smoke free for GOOD even without gaining weight! :)
Good luck kicking the habit!

well, then don-t drink for the next three months, and that should help. also, get your doctor to prescribe Zyban- it will help for the psychological cravings, and then also buy the nicotine patch because that will help with the physical withdrawal symptoms. in a month or so, you probably wont need either anymore.
keep a note of the evil effects of smoking in your pocket. see it every time before you smoke. that will truly help you to quit smoking very soon. may be in three days you will completely forget about it.
