Girls don’t dig smokers! And it’s really gross! It’s so five years ago! Why don’t you just throw your money away and lick the street outside. That’s basically what you’re doing! Oh yeah! And inhale harmful crap!
Well you just can’t think about smoking. tell people not to bring it up. And just stop DON”T DO IT!!
stop smoking cant help u if cant help ur self
First you have to believe you can quit. Stop telling yourself that you can’t. We can will things to ourselves just by saying it. If you keep saying can’t then you won’t. So get a little confidence and will power and go for it. You CAN do it!
I quit smoking. The way I did it was by not even telling myself that I was going to quit smoking, I just told myself that I was going to cut down. I cut down to 5 or 6 a day, then 3 or 4 a day, then 2 or 3 a day then 1 or 2 a day, then 1 a day, then 1 every other day, then 1 every few days, then just when I drank, then only 1 when I drank, to nothing when I drink. Just cut down slow. That’s what I did, I spent a week or two on each stage. No real set amount of time, I just moved down to the next stage when I felt comfortable with it. You can do it, and that way you don’t have to do it all at once. It really does work. That is what made it possible for me to quit. Good luck. And I know its hard to believe, but I am actually at a point now, where I absolutely HATE the smell of ciggerettes, and being around it. You can feel that way too. It is possible.
What do you think about chewing gum, maybe it could help you
NoOne can help you do that. You have to make a commitment to yourself to quit. It’s VERY hard, I know, been struggling with that myself. Good-Luck and I hope your successful!!
I quit smoking September 5,2003 and haven’t had one since! YAY! I still to this day chew alot of gum. I did really good. I didn’t gain wieght or anything. Make sure you’re ready or you’ll fail. That’s not a great feeling. Chew gum, play games on the computer. Anything that will keep your mind busy and chew lots of gum. lol Hey at least you’ll always have good breath! Good luck with it. It’s an amazing feeling when you’ve finally kicked the habit.
I used Nicorette 4mg gum as directed and purchased it on ebay for WAY cheaper than retail stores. After 6 weeks of using the gum, I been smoke free for 7 years now.
The most successful way is just replacing the cigarettes with a healthy snack. Put the cigs away and chew gum. There are smoking cessation classes available in most hospitals. In the classes we teach healthy alternatives and also prescribe welbutrin to ease cravings.
Have you asked your health insurance plan if they have something for quitting smoking? I know Health Partners has a program with support.
My brother recently decided to quit. He had a freind call him a couple times a week to make sure he wasn’t smoking and to talk about it if he felt like having one. Also, whenever he had the urge to have a smoke he would go out in the garage and do some jumping jacks or jogging in place till the urge passed.
Not only did he quit smoking, he lost 20 pounds!
Good Luck!
give it the cold shoulder!!!
Pray!! a miracle might happen…I am serious..
Start small. I started to quit by not smoking in my car. From there, I stopped going to diners where I know I would chain smoke. I took less and less breaks at work for smoking and when I wanted to, I would have someone just talk with me or have something near by to chew on like a straw or gum. It took about 2 months, but I am on my last leg of quitting…9 more and I’m done. You can always try aids such as the patch, gum and some medications (though that is something I frown upon). You have to want to smoke and you have to have reasons for it. I want to quit and I WANT to feel better and save money. I wish you luck and you have to believe you CAN quit and you will
i quit smoking three months ago. i took niquine lozenges. They are good.
Smoking is SELF PITY!! You KNOW it is bad for your and the fact that you are doing it anyway is a way of calling for help.
In life you can have pity or respect, but only one.
Choose
There is a part of you that wants to quit. That would be your logic. You know you are killing yourself. It will be tough to start with the nicotine withdrawal, but you have to keep asking yourself, do i want to die smothering???????????????
YOURE GONNA DIE IF YOU KEEP SMOKING!!!!!!
there maybe that helped! nothing like a reality check! but seriously i know a bazillion people who used that patch thing and it worked just fine for them..i personally think smoking is so disgusting
Wellbutrin works well with a lot of people who are heavily addicted. As your doctor about it.
IF YOU REALY WANT TO QUIT SMOKING………FIRST ,TRY A PACK OF GUM SEE IF IT WORKS……SECOND, TRY GO ON THE PATCH IF THAT DON’T WORK….THIRD, JUST EAT AND GET YOUR MIND OF THE CIGARETTES…..FOURTH, JUST KICK THE HABIT…………..GOOD LUCK………………………
Do it for someone you love. I did it for 20 years but quit cold turkey the day my 2 years-old son refused to come near me because of the smell. I have been smoke free for 1 year. I want to live long enough time to see my boys grow up.
Some suggestion: try the patch – it works
Set a quit date (ideally 2 weeks ahead), start wearing the patch from 2 weeks ahead so that frequency of smoking reduces. On the quit date the patch should be all you will be using.
Best of luck!!
i agree with Courtney but to add to that. Make it more difficult to smoke. First no smoking in your car, no smoking in the house, no smoking in public…. Each time you add another place that you are NOT allowed to smoke in it makes it more difficult to light up. Also, chew gum if you like it or snack on carrots or something healthy. Everytime you have the urge for a smoke, go for a walk or drink a glass of water.. I know you can do it.. Good luck!!
I think you can switch over to nicotine spray first.
Although I haven’t been a smoker I have read about quiting. You need to find a doctor that will write numerous prescriptions for the nicotine spray and won’t balk.
The reason to use the spray first is that it can give you the same nicotine high as smoking, so it should be fairly easy to convert. Then you could go to something else like the patch and fill in with the spray. It is probably a good idea to keep the spray on hand for the rest of your life in case you have periodic cravings.
Hope this helps.
It takes a lots of balls to do it , cool turkey my friend thats the only way. Take somebody that really cares for you to camping for 3 days thats all you need..
I know this is going to sound bad but here goes…
Addictions come in two main groups in my mind. There are addictions that have a physical component (withdrawal) and ones that have a mental component (habit). Unfortunately you’ve chosen a drug that hit you with both of those components.
The problem with getting away from the mental component of your addiction is that the physical symptoms (shaking, irritability) will likely draw you back into smoking. Nicotine gum and patches can help with the physical symptoms while you try and break the mental addiction. But then you are left with trying to kick a physical addiction anyways.
So, on to my solution. In my experience, I used marijuana to help me quit. Weed still has the mental addictive qualities (habit) but there is little to no physical addictiveness. After a few months I was able to quit using weed and had to deal with the mental addictiveness without having to deal with the physical part as well.
It sounds crazy but it worked for me.
