I have tryed quiting cold turkey but no luck and i don-t believe the patch and the gum work what else could i do?

Don-t feel bad about not being able to quit through going cold turkey. This method doesn-t work because it gives nicotine the power, not the other way around. The vast majority fail to quit this way.

Smoking is more of a psychological addiction than a physical one. If you really want to quit you must discover the reasons why you smoke and then eliminate or change these thought processes. Once you deal with the psychological side of smoking it makes the quitting process easy, no matter your level of addiction.

Most companies who sell quit smoking aids admit to this on their websites. They say to use their products in conjunction with a psychological support program. Why? Because without one the chances of quitting are greatly reduced. In reality the psychological program does most of the work. The quit smoking aids are more of a helping hand and are often completely unnecessary.

Good Luck and Good Quitting

The way my mom quit was with lots of support. She wasn-t able to stop with the patch and gum either. What you need is someone (or more) people who you can count on. Whenever you are feeling the urge to light up call them and meet up or talk to them to distract yourself (kinda like a sponsor). Whenever my mom would go into a store to buy cigs she would call me and I would just tell her to come over for a few hours and if she still wanted to get cigs later then I would take her downstairs to buy them. Usually she would come over and we would have lunch and a few drinks and she would forget about her cigs completely. Another thing is you can slowly wean yourself off cigs. If you currently smoke 1 pack a day start making it 3/4 pack and then 1/2 pack etc etc. In the morning take out the number of cigs you are going to allow yourself to smoke today and put them in a separate container. DON-T carry around the whole pack with you because it will be very hard to resist the temptation.

---

I threw out all the crap suggested to help. None of it worked for me at all. Patches made me jones harder, gum burned my mouth. Telling people I was quitting made me look like an *** later (over and over).

I took a week off. I just up and said screw it. Just stopped. I sat in bed with bags and bags of pistachios for DAYS. You were lucky if I got up and showered! I could not eat at the table, drive, put on make up... I could do nothing that I could somehow associate with smoking.

Eventually I made it to the couch. It was hard as I smoked on the couch. I was trying to get through every smoking trigger. A couple months after that I could drive myself. Yes, it took that long as after the first 2 weeks passed no way was I redoing that! I never made it past 1 week.

I needed everyone I knew on board. Lucky I knew NO smokers, have not for many years. 8 months later and here I am still smoke free. Oh and the BIGGEST thing to tell yourself. If you decide to -have just one- be honest. You are deciding to start smoking again. There is no such thing as just one. If you reach for one just tell yourself I quit quitting and am a smoker again. That has really helped me. As I have wanted just one a lot. Even a few days ago. But I do not want to be a smoker again.

The quit pain does go away. You get a craving here and there but it is not bad and is over quickly. Good luck.

im asking becuase i wana quit smoking. but i dnt wana try any nicotine gums or patches or nuthin. and i was told that the american spirit cigarettes have less addictives, and sinceit has les addictives, can it help me quit?

---

smoking any cigarette is not gonna help you quit..

---

No. American Spirits are additive*-free, not less addictive. I think you got them confused. And smoking is smoking, just like nicotine is nicotine. Whatever you smoke, you are still smoking; smoking a different brand of cigarettes is not going to help you quit. Don-t be fooled, there is no such thing as a healthier or safer cigarette.

Stop buying cigarettes.

Think of this way, the more you smoke, the more money you spend. Let-s say in a day you buy 1 pack of cigarrette, and the cigarratte cost ard 5-10 bucks, if u dont use that money, u could eventually save 5-10 bucks a day.....35-70 bucks per mth...and year????? count urself... Make ur mind be a money-minded as in, each time u wana buy cigarrette, its the same as burning that money. i know there-s an urge for u to smoke, but at least if u think of saving money to buy something worth like a present for ur girlfriend, then u-ll think back twice. Think thrice....so on and so forth.... Ask urself, if i buy the cigarrette now, i won-t be able to buy something that i-ve been eyeing for. Trust me, if u think of money, u-ll feel the waste of buying cigarrette. Maybe u could slowly decrease as in, u-ll think of smoking lesser, 1 pack must last me for 3 days, so i can save more money, when the urge of smoking have lessen, its easier to quit smoking. THINK OF $$$$$$..

---

It is already hurting you now as you speak.

But you can try Smoke Away. Look it up and you can order is. It is like a pill or liquid. I forget which.

But my dad was a smoker for years. He stopped and started again. Then he started using this and he has stopped smoking for 5 years now. But you don-t take it everyday for years. You take it for a short amount of time.

It turns your cravings so if you think about smoking, I guess it makes you feel sick.

Hopefully I Helped! And Good Luck!

---

It took me a couple of tries before i actually quit. i began by trying to cut down to the point i was only smoking maybe 2/day. this helped me break the physical addiction and just the habit of smoking for no reason, like when your bored. if the health problems don-t make you want a quit, look at someone who has smoked all there life. i can always tell who is a smoker just by looking at them (wrinkles around their lips, leathery skin, brown and missing teeth, yellow hair, smoker-s cough and voice). you just need to committ to it. it takes a lot of strength to quit, and not everyone has it.

I quit seven years ago by changing brands of cigarettes about every two or three months . Each time I changed brands I bought one with less tar and nicotine than the last .when I got to the lowest rated one I could find I smoked them and picked a quiting day and stuck to it . It is very hard to quit ,but it is possible ,Just convince your self you can do it and prove to every one that said you couldn-t ,you have a stronger will power than they thought . I tried the patches,pills ,and gums none of them worked . Cold turkey was the only way I managed to quit . If you don-t succeed the first time like I did , try again as soon as possible.If I can quit any body can .I smoked for 36 years

Pray for the Lord to help you!!!

When you crave a cigarette, find something else to occupy your mind. Don-t try to quit cold turkey because it could come back to bite you. Try the patch or gum or something...

---

We-ll I quit smoking 5 years ago when I found out I was pregnant and it was the hardest thing i ever did, but my baby was more important to me. After about 2 months the cravings were alot better. Try to eat hard candy, take walks, anything to take your mind off it. Good luck.

I was on meth 24/7 for a year.Have now been clean for 1 yr, and quit smoking cigarettes 4 months ago. Have gained so much weight...now excercising, eating dry toast for breakfast, 2 apples for a snack, leancuisine for lunch, an apple and a lowfat granola bar for snack, and another lean cuisine for dinner.I eat dinner around 5:00, jog half a mile, then have another apple.I also have an hypothyroidism which I am on medication for.Is this a healthy diet? Is it low enough in fat and calories that I should lose weight? My eating was out of control, since getting clean, food has taken on a whole new meaning and has never been so good! and of course, since quitting smoking, i ate instead of smoked. now the cravings are under control, but i am up to 200 pounds!hope someone can make some suggestions!

---

first off I will congratulate in making the right choice that you do want to lose some 200 pounds.

if you do exactly what I tell you, I guarantee you that you will see results.

you must do the following:

1. food.
(a) unhealthy foods - - -please say good bye to any form of unhealthy food including junk foods whatsoever.
(b) healthy foods - - - - please consult with a doctor about nutrition and diets to see what forms of foods you are allowed to eat.
2. liquids.
(a) because you will go to the gym, every single day, you will be required to drink at least a gallons worth of liquids (excluding sodas of any sort and mineral water) such as water, milk, orange juices, etc., etc., etc.
3. exercise
(a) I suggest that you do at least between 2 or 3 miles in the treadmill in which it should be approximate about 40 to 60 minutes

---

CONGRATS ON BEATING METH! I am very impressed. That is hard to do. If you can do that, you can do anything! I don-t know about your special dietary needs, you might see a dietician, to help you set up a menu for your lifestyle. Also check out the internet for diets that may help! God love ya!!!

jogging a half mile does nothing. I asked my Doc and told her I run 1-1.5 miles and can-t lose weight. She said It more depends on the amount of TIME you spend do cardio work. It needs to be 30-40 min. also get enrolled in college and fill your time. make different friends. and maybe start lifting wieghts at a gym. Don-t try at home you-ll end up eating. at a gym there is nothing to do there but workout. Spend 30 min. in a light jog then lift for an hour. Sweat alot and drink lots of water.

---

i think what you-re doing now sounds fine...you-re eating enough and exercising. good job for getting clean. good luck.

A new fad diet up and coming is the Lemon Cleanse. You can loose an average of 10lbs/week on it. I-ve heard it works but fast loss usually means fast gain so I would be careful after coming off the diet.

This is the recipe:

2 tablespoons FRESH squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
2 tablespoons genuine organic maple syrup, Grade B or C(the darker the better)*
1/10 teaspoon (a small pinch!) cayenne pepper, gradually increase (the more BTUs the better)
300 - 500 cc (10-14 oz) pure water

You drink that mix every 1-2 hours and take in nothing else but purified water. After one week you should see results but should not continue the diet for more than 40 days.

There is a strict regiment of foods to eat for the first week or so after coming off the diet so you don-t shock your system.

Pretty much everything on this diet is fairly well explained in Stanley Burrough-s book, The Master Cleanser and there-s some stuff on this website:

I-m also clean for 1 year. Yeah for us!! You need to up your exercising, if you can-t run more than 1/2 mile then speed walk as much as you can. Your diet sounds perfect. If the food your eating isn-t causing you to loose weight then keep increasing your workout routine. Your body needs to be challenged so don-t get stuck doing the same thing over and over.

---

First off a BIG CONGRAT-S on getting yourself clean!!!!!!!!!!
Now you are into another stage of doing something good for yourself and working out a lifestyle plan of eating that you can stick with for a life. A diet per say is something that people go on and will lose weight but usually go off of and go back to the way they were eating before and end up gaining weight back. So what you need to find is a lifestyle plan that you can lose weight on and also stick with after for maintaining your new look.

What you have mentioned above....mainly the lean cuisine - I are not what is considered *whole foods* and I also believe most are high in sodium content. I believe in getting back to the basic-s would be helpful for you and since you are a determined person - I know you can do it. Choose whole healthy foods that work for you to lose weight - and not all people lose weight following the same type of plan because not all can (or want to follow the same or react to the same plan the same way). Your body will let you know. So pick a plan be it Lowcarbing, Weight Watchers, South Beach or a zillion others - but one that is actually based on store bought food and not specialty food thats going to cost you an arm and a leg :-)

Water is always very important no matter what plan you are following - so you should be drinking eight 8oz glasses a day. As for exercise - I know at 200 pounds it can be tough at times. You can start with just simple walking for 30 min a day and work yourself up from there - add in weight training to tone (I-m assuming you are a woman that is not looking at building up lots of muscle). As time progresses you can increase both of these.

Don-t become addicted to the scales - but rely more on how your clothing is fitting you as you lose. If you are working out muscle weighs more than fat - so if the scales are not moving down you can still be looking better and clothing fitting better overall.

After years and years of yo-yo dieting I quit dieting and finally did what I have said here - I lost 125 pounds in 8 months.

---

Try low-carb. You-re never hungry and have tons of energy. Works for me ; )

---

Go back to meth and smoking, you-ll lose the weight fast!

I quit meth. I quit smoking. in the last year i gained 70 pounds. Need to lose at least 50! am trying a diet.. -

I was a smoker for 25 years and I had quit smoking for over six times ,but never really quit smoking before.Just after I read that quit smoking program, I realized how easy quitting smoking was.I am a non-smoker now! I highly recommend this program to your brother.It really works.You can check out

Good luck!

First he should go and see his doctor. His doctor should be able to help find determine if a smoking cessation aid would be beneficial and which one. Second go the the Yahoo group NicotineBusters,
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Nic…
They have a wealth of information on a variety of methods to quite smoking. Their support is wonderful. Third, he may want to take a look at
http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/…
It-s a quiz to help identify what type of smoker you are.

I quit 3 months, 3 weeks and 1 day ago. But who-s counting!!! ;-)

---

These are really good tips I have heard to stop smoking. Hope they help.

Because a smoker forms the habit of putting something in their mouth, and it-s like always a cigarette. you will need something else to put into your mouth, like lollipops.

Have a peppermint each time you crave a cigarette, the craving will go away somehow.

Be sure to have lots of water, the nicotine will wash out within 48 - 72 hours. Let-s say, the same amount as some scientist discovered. 6 - 8 glasses a day.

Make sure you get a lot of fresh air and exercise, it will help your brain recover

Have faith. Thinking you can-t do it over and over won-t help.

---

He should mainly be doing it for himself. Remember it-s him that has to live his life when he is older with the results of smoking, not his girlfriend. I suggest he direct his attention to something else. My dad was a hardcore smoker. He smoked since he was 18 till he was 38. More than a pack a day. He did a 3 step quit smoking patch set, that he bought at the store. I would suggest getting into something like that, and try chewing something like sunflower seeds or gum. They-re low in calories and they give him something to do with his mouth if he is having a craving.

---

I highly recommend a prescription drug called Chantix. I have tried many times before and this drug is absolutely wonderful!!!!

First you gotta realise that cold turkey is the only way which is difficult but the best way if you are SERIOUS about quitting weed.

The next is that marijuana addiction is a psychological addiction not a physical one ... you cannot become dependant on weed like you can on cigarettes.

This means you gotta find a way of thinking that will help you overcome the cravings and realise you are better off without it.

5 Steps To Quit Smoking Pot – The Beginning

To quit smoking marijuana you need a plan of action, a way forward and a reason and motivation stronger than your cravings to get through it. Many people who try to quit however do so in a haphazard way thinking that it will either be easy and having no plan except to stop or perhaps they know it is going to be hard and their plan of action is hampered by fear and a lack of understanding of the driving forces of their addiction. Steps to quit smoking pot at the very beginning are a vital thing to lay the groundwork for a successful break from smoking marijuana but do need to be modified for circumstance. Here are 5 steps you can take immediately to get you started!

1. Remove Temptation to Smoke Marijuana
There is a certain amount of intellectual dishonesty that many addicts entertain when they resolve to quit smoking weed that is a major indicator of not really committing and allowing a relapse and that is often to do with not removing the temptation to smoke completely. If you really want to quit do not leave anything to do with smoking pot around the house for instance. Get rid of all your stash, all your bongs and smoking paraphernalia as well as lighters or any ’stoner’ culture stuff like posters and so on. Purge it from your life to remove longing and triggers for cravings. If you let it become EASY to take it back up again you are actually leaving the door to relapse wide open often out of fear of change and fear you cannot handle life without it.

Well you cant stop unless you are really motivated, and by the look of your question you have been smoking a lot for a long time, so you will find it hard. there is no 2 ways about it, you will have 2 try really HARD and not give in to temptation. firts of all try cutting down gradually and as bad as that sounds already you should steer clear of any bad influences. try to get into more activities to take your mind off it. Its gonna be hard but in the end you will see that its all worth it. And if you still find it hard try going into rehab.

---

You are your own psychology patient so the trick is to reward yourself.
For example, if you go 2 days without smoking weed, reward yourself by smoking some weed.

---

Cutting down on your habits until you find something to do to keep you from smoking at all.
And for the record no one can smoke 20lbs a day by themselves.

---

you cant stop right away try taking 10 pounds worth a day for a few weeks, come off it gradually thats what i did, start with having single skinners too


pounds as in uk ￡￡￡￡-s

---

by cutting down, dont go cold turkey at once!

---

find something to take ur mind off it
