I am trying to quit smoking Please Help!? -
I-ve been smoking on and off for about 12 years now. I-m tierd of what smoking is doing to me. I need some advice on how you may have kicked the habit. I-ve tried patches the irritate my skin, I-ve tried the quit now line (didn-t work). I-ve tried cold turkey only to go back and start again. Please Help.
Listen, you need a lot of will power to just stop smoking. The other method is to replace smoking with a positive activity, but you have to be so into the activity, so you can forget about smoking forever. In most cases that not an effective strategy. I found out that there is a smoker-s card that reduced the amount of toxins that cigarettes emit. All you have to do is to purchase the card, place it onto the cigarette pack and it will help you gradually quit smoking. Just Google HuashenUSA and there should be more information about it.
Replace your smoking habit with another, positive habit.
I think it is good that you are thinking of quitting after 6 months,,,, I wish you all the best. Imagine the possibilities of not smoking. You get to save lots of money and your health.. Imagine the money you put aside especially if you are a pack-a-day smoker... you can pay installments for a very decent second hand car.
I have not smoked for 3 days now and dont have the urge to either. Its all about mind control.
well i know how you feel. asked god to help you. i smoke once at 13. and i quit.
If you don-t buy cigarettes it-s hard to smoke. When you quit smoking you have to change your routine. Example if you wake up and have coffee - a cigarette then you can still have coffee just have a slice of toast with it. When you are done. Start doing dishes- It is hard to smoke when your-e hands are in water.
Basically it is mind over matter by retraining your thinking that I have to keep busy and before you know it you can forget about the cigarette. I know you are thinking I have to have one- Well have one then wait a longer period until you have another and so on. SJ
Well...My Aunt had been smoking for like 12 year too!! BUt she took out her cigerate box and replaced it with a rasion box and every time she went for a cigerete she would eat a rasion but she always kept 1 pack in case she realy realy needed it!
Maybe try smoking something non-addictive to replace your habit...then eventually just drop the non-addictive habit.
I highly recommend this book: -Allen Carr-s Easy Way To Stop Smoking-
He clearly differentiates the physical withdrawal symptoms from the psychological ones. The physical withdrawal is actually only a feeling of mild emptiness, somewhat like hunger. The real challenge is dealing with the psychological aspects of going without the cigarette. But once this part of quitting is clearly understood, it becomes much easier, and can even be enjoyable as he says. The author is an ex smoker himself who has a very clear understanding of the truth about smoking, and how to quit. And he has a very rational approach, no unnecessary scare tactics. His method is said to have helped millions quit.
Best of luck.
