I am going to try to quit smoking. I have gotten a perscription for Welbutrin. Has anyone ever tried using this to quit? How successful were you? Any other suggestions?
I haven-t smoked ONE ciggy since Sept. COLD TURKEY BABY!!!
Just keep telling yourself that you would rather die being hit by a bus... than the long and painfully slow process of dying from Lung Cancer of Emphysema.
Worked for me.
dont smoke that simple......
Chew gum! Pop mints! Keep your mouth busy! Do not over eat!
Make sure to distance yourself from smokers while trying to quit. The hardest part is smelling a fresh lit one!

Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.
Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”
The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!
Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….
TO BE FREE!
What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.
The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.
No Gimmicks!
The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!
The Allen Carr Method is successful because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Medical Endorsements
A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”
Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees
“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London
”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP
“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”
Celebrity Endorsements
-His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson.
“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins.
GOOD LUCK!
You have to set in your mind that you want to stop smoking and once you make a determination, you will . The cravings will be strong at first, but after that they die away and only last about a minute, thank god. About a couple of months the cravings will be gone completly. Remember you have to really want to stop , that-s the key.
I can tell you how I did it, reveiw my profile and find my web site read Bill-s P.R.I.D.E

I tried this program and it changed my life.
just go all out on do it
It is all about determination, you have to really want to quit. The welbutrin will help some, but you have to make yourself quit, it isn-t easy to resist the cravings. Just quit buying cigarettes, and tell your friends not to give you any. You just have to resist the urge to buy more, it is all mental, it will be really hard at first, but it will get easier after a few weeks.
My friend I sympathize with you, since I am a recovering ex-smoker. Studies show it is harder to quit nicotine than heroin and man do I believe it.
I was working as a prison nurse supv. at the time in N.C. In addition to it being a big tobacco state, the stress fueled my cigarette desire.
I felt I was a slave to the tobacco companies. I also knew I was smarter than that.
Believe it or not, an inmate doing 40 years for murder recommended and gave me a paperback called 21 days to quit smoking, by the American Heart Assoc. I never was one to read these self-help books, but, for once I decided not to be so negative. Well guess what? That was over 11 years ago. Was it easy? HELL NO. Was it worth it? That-s a no brainer.
Good luck with your quest. P.S. Wellbutrin is a good idea
star drink water early in the mornning or if you smoke 15 times a day bring down to 10 times
Cold Freakin Turkey....
IF you have any self control.
