can some help me to stop smoking?

Question

i have tried a few times but no luck yet

Answer 1

Use all the help that is available to you, local smoking cessation counsellor/group via your doctor, NRT etc

The most important thing is don't stop wanting and trying to give up, no matter how many times you've failed the next time you try to stop may be the one that does it

Answer 2

Here's how I did it. I am a cheapskate so when the price started going up I cut back on my smoking. When I finally decided to quit I was smoking less than a pack a day. I started a two week vacation with one pack left so I decided not to buy more. I made that pack last me about 3 or 4 days by smoking half cigarettes and waiting until my cravings got unbearable. When it was gone I searched the ashtrays in the house for cigarettes that had 1 or 2 more hits to them and smoked them when I really needed a fix. By the end of the first week I was done smoking. The second week off helped because I didn't have to deal with the idiots at work who cause most of my stress. Be warned, you will gain weight. I gained about 40-45 pounds in just a few weeks. I finally lost it this year because I put my mind to it instead of just accepting it. Good luck.

i have just stopped smoking because of getting pregnant. I had tried and tried before but never succeeded. This time however, i found it a great help to have someone professional to talk to she has been a great help, gives me that extra boost.

I must admit i used to find the idea of "talking" about it rather wierd but it actually works. Knowing that i'll see her at the end of the week encourages me not to fail.

I know its not really that long but i have been a non smoker for two weeks now and i very rarely get the cravings anymore. I feel fantastic and proud that my baby will have a much better chance of being healthy. Good luck and keep trying its not easy. I also find the nicotine patches are very helpful

I stopped by cutting down. It might work for you. Set yourself some rules - cut out first one of the day, and none after 11pm. for example. Then once you're fine with that, make it none until 10am or after 10pm. Set some more, like never smoking alone, or never when walking, or driving, etc.
It works because you're in control, and can cheat if you want to, but you won't, much, and if you do, you just go back to when it was working. It helped me to keep away from other people who smoke, and identify your weak times - morning coffee break? Go out for a run instead.

The hardest part is getting down to one a day, and knowing that you're going to have to go a day without. But after a few weeks of one a day, you'll be able to.

Sometimes it's really hard - it's an addiction, after all - and I found that by saying to myself that I was 'allowed' one in ten minutes, then putting it off for another ten minutes was the only way I could do it, some days.

As you can see, this method might take a while - a few months maybe. On the other hand, my father-in-law gave up one day and never touched another one! Horses for courses.

Good luck, and never give up giving up (sorry, sounds so naff). But you won't regret it, no more midnight dashes to the petrol station for fags, no more breathlessness, no more SLAVERY!

Answer 5

You dont need to buy a book to stop smoking, all you need is will power and support. I tried all sorts of things to stop smoking, even pretended that I had at one point, but was only fooling myself. What really helped me was the NHS stop smoking clinic, it lasted for 6 weeks. It was a great way to stop smoking because it looked at why I smoked. Also after you had set your "quit" day you had to blow in to a machine that shows your carbon monoxide levels in your blood. I didn't want to be the one that was the odd one out.

Its not easy, but its not as hard as you think either!! February 4th 2006 is the last time I had a cigarette. Saved my money and been on holiday with it.

Good luck, hope you do well

Answer 6

Allen Carr's books (the easy way) and the same amount of will power that you use to carry on smoking, turned to quitting. It really does work.

I had already given up when a friend gave me a copy of his book: the easy way to stop smoking, reading it was like someone had switched the light on and it strengthened my resolve to quit forever; that was over two years ago now and I have not ever even wanted to go back to smoking.

I believe that he now has a copy of his 'easy-way' book specifically written for, and aimed at women. Do yourself a big favour, get a copy and read it. There is no pressure to quit smoking whilst reading the book, but if you absorb yourself in it you will no longer want to.

If you find reading heavy going, try one of his seminars, either way it's the same message and it works, if you want to let it. For me the method had a side effect: rather than putting on weight, I lost some and got a lot fitter; if you can stand this and want to save some money, you should try it!

Answer 7

I was a heavy smoker for over 20 years, started in the military. I tried many times to quit, but also got back on it. The birth of my son took the place of smoking. I had something to look forward to each day, I did not need to smoke anymore. It's been over 10 years now. Everybody is different, you need to find your reason to quit, and you need to really want to.

Answer 8

Buy the book "The easy way to stop smoking" by Alan Carr. If you cant be arsed to read it, then attend on of his clinics. Believe me, it really works, but the magic ingredient is you wanting to stop. I have been stopped for 4 years, after smoking for 15 years! Dont miss it one bit, hate it infact and cant wait for the ban to come in to force next summer. Good luck

Answer 9

Go on to google images and find as many discusting goooorry pictures as you can that show the effects of smoking and the damage it does to your body. Print them off and stick them all around your house. Keep a few in your pocket aswell. Everytime you think about having a *** look at them and ask yourself whether you want to be like that. Remember smoking kills. And it can make others around you ill and it makes you smell and your hair and skin horrible. Throw away every *** in your house and dont ever buy another one. Think how much money you could save and spend on something so much better!

Hope all that helps you!
