Ive decided to quit smoking, need help!? -


last night as i lay in bed gasping for air, i finally decided to quit smoking. i have bronchitis pretty bad right now but dont have insurance to see a doctor. i know that if it gets any worse, which it usually does, i will have to go to the ER. I was wondering if anyone has some good advice to keep myself on track. It has been 7 hours since my last cigarette and with a two years old running amuck it has been hell.
I used this site when I quit and it was a real lifesaver. Take the time to check it out (its free too which is great). Gives you lots of tips, answers to questions and support all day and all night.

Good luck!

Try some cinnamon suckie candies, or any kind of suckie candy, or even sun flower seeds can help keep your mouth busy. Also call 1-800-NO BUTTS and they can hook you for free with the nicotene patch to help you quit smoking. Good luck and congrats on making such a tough decision, Oh ya and there is also a prescription they can give you called welbutrin, but being since you don-t have any medical coverage, I would call the NO BUTTS number so you can get help for free.
I-m on week 7, and no relapse,

I can say that on the fourth day you will start to feel better, that-s the day i got out and ran a mile(that-s really not that far) and i coughed and coughed and got some of that bad stuff out. now i run every other day and feel great, i don-t feel sluggish any more or tired all the time.I know its hard, you always want to set time aside for that little puff puff. well ignore that and try and set something else in its place, like something that takes care of your body, like brushing your hair or applying skin lotion. anything that works,really. Oh and i have a 2 year old too, and i run and roll with him and -fly- around the house all the time, i love to see him laugh and giggle when i am playing with him.Good luck, you have a very special friend there that needs you and wants you and no one else. Take care.
Try running amuck with the two year old. When you exercise with your children you can do things together, it will take your mind off smoking, and it will help open up your lungs. I don-t know how brochitis might affect that, but hey I never said I was a doctor.

Plus you should smoke weed. I agree with my Nappy Princess up there.
if you really want to quit you will be fine ---- just a little uncomfortable for a few days but then it-s all in your head.
this is happining because your craving for fags.Try chewing gum to stop cravings.
I went to my doctor and started taking a new prescription medication that really worked for me. It is called Chantix. I had tried everything. You can look it up at www.chantix.com or call 1-877-CHANTIX. Many people need to take it for three months. The least expensive pharmacy was Costco. Good luck!
you cant take care of your child if you die, go to the er now.
It-s great that you want to quit. I really recommend this site to help you be successful:

Patches, pills and Gum don-t work. The process in this program really does work.

im quitting right now myself, im on day 13. I used the patch for the first couple days, my partner is using the gum. If you use either, make sure you do steady usage, remember to put the patch on every morning, or remember to chew a new piece of gum every hour -set an alarm, it helps-.

Another thing to remember, cravings will go away wheather you smoke the cigarette or not. Just keep saying you dont need it, and within 2-15 minutes, you wont anymore because the craving will go away. Talking to people and having people support you helps.

Also, if you cheat -try not to of course- Its not the end of the world. Just find out why you did it, avoid the situation, and dont do it again. Dont do what we did and every time we cheated, started smoking again -weve been trying to quit for 6 months now-.

Good luck!
Congratulations! Try nicorette gum of patches
It only takes three days for the nicotine to leave your system. Then it is a mental battle. A tough one at that! The best thing to do is keep busy. Keep some candy and water at hand and every time you feel like your missing something eat some candy or drink some water. It worked for me. After the first three days you should notice that the physical cravings aren-t very strong anymore. Once you are here you have made it through the hardest part so hang in there. The only way to quit smoking is to NEVER take another puff again. Not socially, not when your drinking, never. Once your brain reaches a level of nicotine addiction it will never go away. When you go back to smoking you pick up right where you left off. Sometimes worse. So no cheating. Other than that I would suggest strengthening your will to quit by doing some research.

Read the nicodemon-s lies page. Very helpful! Good luck!
Firstly, congrats. This is a hard thing to do but it will pay off soo much in the long run. Plus... think if the cash you-ll save!

You need to find a substitution. When you crave a smoke, insert substitution here. I think carrots are good... those baby carrots. Have one or two when you want a smoke. Others prefer sun flower seeds... but you-ll find your vice.

When you want a cigarette, wait a few minutes. Try to think of something to do instead of smoking; you might chew gum or drink a glass of water

If you want to ween yourself off, try buying cigarettes that you absolutely cant stand!

Change your morning routine. When you eat breakfast, don-t sit in the same place at the kitchen table. Stay busy.

Good luck!!!
As a healthcare provider I have been prescribing Chantix for my patients. The success rate is over 80%. Look it up on the website. Its a great new med to help beat tobacco dependency. My patients have loved how it worked for them.
I know many people who have found this book helpful. They also have a version specifically aimed at women. Good luck!

Edit: I have to disagree with everyone that says to use a substitute. The problem with smoking isn-t just the nicotine, but even more so the habit itself--the oral fixation, etc.... Even if you replace it with something healthy such as carrot sticks, sunflower seeds, or whatever, it still is going to make it easier to start again in the future; you haven-t gotten out of the habit of putting something to/in your mouth. Also the book I was referring to in the link is called -The EASYWAY to stop smoking- I have known this book to help a lot of people using no gums, patches or other alternatives.
Carrot sticks, straws, tooth picks, talking with people that don-t smoke, and pray a lot. No luck......simply Bless you.
