I've stopped smoking for two but due to stress I need a ciggy now!!!! !Please help?

Answer 1

NO YOU DON'T!!!!! You've done well (two years/months i take it, not minutes?!Lol) I stopped for almost a year but started again, so don't even think bout having one!! Do something else to take your mind off it! Good luck!

Answer 2

Go find something to eat. Specifically some low fat meat like chicken, or other protein if you are a vegetarian, and a bit of carbohydrate. While an apple would be ideal, since you need help now, go for a cracker or a single cookie. Also if you have peanuts or almonds on hand (and are not allergic) eat them up. They are protein and good fat.

Don't eat a lot of this though. A snack is about one ounce of protein and a small amount of carb if you are a woman. Double that if you are a man. Don't worry about the amount of nuts.

Eat this instead of that ciggy. Chew slow and enjoy like you would the ciggy. Then drink 8 oz of water and do something that raises your heartbeat for a while, even just breathing rapidly in and out. Laughing is the best for this. The craving should subside, but it may take about 30 minutes. That is why you should divert your attention with laughter or exercise.

If you do this every time you want a ciggy, you should not gain much weight, if any at all, and should feel great.

Best of continued success!!

Answer 3

You're gonna think this is weird but doing a big spring-clean in your house is the best way to get you through the time until you are comfortable without having cigs. Why? Because you are scrubbing and scouring everything that haven't had a good clean in a long time, which is exactly what's happening on the inside: your body is getting rid of 'dirt' stuck in the lungs just as when you are scrubbing of hardened-up cooking oil spots on the side of the kitchen cabinet (something you'd normally wouldn't notice). Honestly it works! And it's theraputic and your house will shine!

Answer 4

Drink a Large glass of water as this cures the urge, Gave up 5 months ago, hang in there after the first 2 weeks it gets easier !

Answer 5

Go get yourself a large bag of suckers. My husband and I quit cold turkey on November 1st. The suckers really helped. Don't forget to brush your teeth more often though because of the sugar. If it's too bad of an urge go take a brisk walk.

Answer 6

Take all of your money and lock it away in a safe then give me the key or the code so you can't buy any more ciggys.

Or do the same thing but give a trusted friend the key/code.

Or just don't carry enough money around to buy ciggs.

Answer 7

Eat something crunchy... apply celery

Get up and take a walk around the block or the building... (depending on if you're home /work)

The longer you hang in there the easier it will be and the closer you are to breaking the habit.

Go over your reasons for quitting.

Repeat to yourself (whether you believe it or not)

I am powerful and love myself. I am choosing to remain a non-smoker. I am a non-smoker. I will respect my body and my health.

Answer 8

keep answering & asking questions - you can't smoke if you're hands & mind are busy. get up & run around the building or climb some steps. do anything, but don't go back!! good luck - I'm sending you strong vibes so you won't smoke!!! lol

Answer 9

I feel for you.I have tried quiting cold turkey before but have never been able to make it past the end of the 2nd day.I hope you can do it just hang in there.

Answer 10
