What are some good tips for success in quitting smoking? -
Without using the patch, gum, or Chantix.
It-s more of a how to stay focused, and not -give in- (willpower) type of question. I have quit many times inthe past, longest was for 4 years, but I-m smoking more packs of ciggs today than I ever was in the past.
Any tricks and/or advice would be appreciated.
divert your addiction to other things. video games, relationships, paties, food.... anything other than drugs. the replacement might not be healthy either, but it will at less be less detrimental.
Just keep looking ahead, and decide where you want to be in 1, 2, 6 or 12 months down the track and aim to do it without cigarettes.
what worked for me was putting the money i would usually spend on smokes into an account or piggy bank and at the end of the month, if you have not had a smoke, reward yourself with something you really want using the money you would usually have spent on your ciggies, you will start to enjoy your rewards more and realize how much money you are putting into the pockets of the evil corporations that produce cigarettes
I would recommend EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). It-s an emotional, needle-free version of acupuncture and it works wonders!
