stopped smoking pot and ciggarettes and want to get healthy again.?

Question

I am 15yo and I have been smoking pot heavilly for the past 2 years along with ciggarettes and recently I have noticed I cant breathe very well and have no endurance so i have been trying to quit. Now I want to get my lungs and brain and body back into healthy conditions.What I need to know is how I can get my body back to the conditions they were in before i started smoking. I also have been having trouble sleeping, eating, and have had very angry attitudes since I quit and it's very hard for me to say NO when someone offers me a hit or drag off weed or a cigg so I was wondering if there was anyway to help kick the addiction.

Answer 1

Wow! Congratulations! You're an A Number 1 on the RIGHT track!

You've made an excellent, mature and responsible choice! You're going to be a Leader and a front runner in everything you do.

The ones offering you a hit or drag are only addicted losers. Leave them in the dust and move on with your life.'

Answer 2

I was really worried because I smoked when I found out I was pregnant as well. I thought it would be really hard because I had problems quitting in the past, but it was actually pretty easy. I cut down immediately from a pack a day to about 3 cigarettes a day. Everytime I smoked one I thought about the growing baby and how it was harming it. In a few days I stopped--except the occasional pull-out-my hair moments and within a week of that I was completely smoke-free. So it took me about 2 weeks total and I didn't even like the smell of smoke anymore. I hope you have the same luck I had. It takes willpower, but ultimately the desire of the best for your baby. Good luck hon! :)

Can your parents afford to get you acupuncture? It will help with both cravings for ciggies and pot.If you can't spend the money on that there's this great product called KYOGREEN. It's a powerful green powder that packs a punch. It acts like a vacuum cleaner inside of your body cleaning and removing garbage and toxic crap out of it.You can get it at the healthfood store, It's not cheap but it really works. It even removes radioactive residue from xrays! I mix mine in 1/2 apple juice and 1/2water.You'll have to give your body time especially your lungs time to detox from the nicotine.Starting a walking program and bicycling regularly will help move things along faster.The exercise will help deal with the anger( it'll take the edge off of it). tell your friends to f #$% off with the cigarettes. Either they're with ya or against ya in your desire to be healthier.if they keep bugging you all the time they're threatened by the fact that you're changing.Too bad for them. Be a leader not a follower and do whats best for you. There's always a healthier or more positive way to deal with problems other than getting high.You can also keep a journal and write down your feelings. Sounds corny but it really works to get it off of your mind.You can do it. I'm not saying that the urges will ever go away but if you have a list right in front of you of better substitutes to do when the urge hits ya then you can choose to do one of them instead. My dad used to chew gum everytime he craved smoking. It really helped.Better make it sugarless though.

TALK TO A DR. AND GET HELP THAT IS THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU SINCE YOU ARE 15 YEARS OF AGE
OTHER WISE HERE IS SOME INFO FOR YOU.
Several different factors can affect the rate of metabolism and excretion of nicotine. In general, a regular smoker will have nicotine or its by-products present in the body for about 3 to 4 days after stopping.

When smokers try to cut back or quit, the absence of nicotine leads to withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal is both physical and mental. Physically, the body is reacting to the absence of nicotine. Psychologically, the smoker is faced with giving up a habit, which is a major change in behavior. Both must be dealt with if quitting is to be successful.
Withdrawal symptoms can include any of the following:

dizziness (may only last 1-2 days in the beginning) depression ,feelings of frustration and anger ,irritability ,trouble sleeping ,trouble concentrating ,restlessness ,headache, ,tiredness ,increased appetite ,

These symptoms can lead the smoker to again start smoking cigarettes to boost blood levels of nicotine back to a level where there are no symptoms.
If a person has smoked regularly for a few weeks or longer and abruptly stops using tobacco or greatly reduces the amount smoked, withdrawal symptoms will occur. Symptoms usually start within a few hours of the last cigarette and peak about 2 to 3 days later. Withdrawal symptoms can last for a few days to several weeks

When Smokers Quit – What Are the Benefits Over Time

20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate drops.
12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal
2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation improves and your lung function increases
1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection.
1 year after quitting: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's.
5 years after quitting: Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker 5-15 years after quitting
10 years after quitting: The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker's. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix, and pancreas decreas
15 years after quitting: The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a nonsmoker's

Kicking the tobacco habit also offers benefits that you'll notice immediately and some that will develop gradually in the first few weeks. These rewards can improve your day-to-day life substantially:
Food tastes better.
Sense of smell returns to normal
Ordinary activities no longer leave you out of breath (climbing stairs, light housework, etcetera.)
The prospect of better health is a maj
Smoking is expensive. It isn't hard to figure out how much you spend on smoking: multiply how much money you spend on tobacco every day by 365 (days per year). The amount may surprise you. Now multiply that by the number of years you have been using tobacco and that amount will probably astound you.
Multiply the cost per year by 10 (for the upcoming 10 years) and ask yourself what you would rather do with that much money.
And this doesn’t include other possible expenses, such as higher costs for health and life insurance, as well as the health care costs due to tobacco-related conditions.

I wish you luck and GOD SPEED

Answer 5

Have you gone to your doctor? He/She can answer that a lot better than I can. Excercise, eat healthy, get involved in clubs or sports to get your mind off of it. Maybe when the craving hits you, maybe you should take a walk or talk on the phone with one of your friends. Good luck:) God Bless!!!!!!
