Answer 1

Have you got support ? It will take a long time, depending on your lifestyle. Good luck.

Answer 2

Take no notice of Golfjunkie. You will reach a time when you can't stand the smell but it will be a while. It's not that long till you've "cracked it " though. I went cold turkey after 37 years smoking. That was almost 13 years ago and it's great. There is life after smoking. Cold turkey is the only permanent way to go though. Try to stick it for 3 weeks - seems like an age I know but something happens then to make the rest of it a cake walk. IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK

Hi,

Great post! Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, and I thought I wasn't addicted!

Here's what I tried before finding success: hypnosis, those fake cigaretts, the nicotine patch, and group therapy....none worked.

I finally tried this HERBAL patch I bought 6 months ago on the net. They claim a 97% success rate. Well, it worked! They had a sweet deal which was a free 10 day trial for only $3.95 including shipping (it's regularly $53 for 10 days)!!

I don't know if they still have that deal, but it's worth a try.

You are anon smoker well done. I stopped smoking nearly 4 years now but still now and again get a feeling for a cigarette the trick is to quickly think of something else sook on a pen or drink water, use NRT patches or inhilator they really do work and if there is a smoking cesation class near you go it will help too.

Well done and keep up the good work.

Answer 5

its one of the hardest thing to do, i stopped 3 years ago and it took about 2 weeks the 3rd and 4 th day was the hardest thats when alot give in, your body is just begging you for a smoke, but be strong on the 3rd and 4th days do sumthing that will keep your mind off it play a sport or sumthing else to focus on, stay away from people who smoke cause no doubt they will just tease you, dont give in, 2 weeks and you will be fine its not long time just think of all that spare cash you will have, a nice holiday next year,

good luck

Answer 6

Took me about 2 weeks to feel better. You will always have that taste for a smoke but hang in there you can do it!! I smoked 2 packs a day and I am smoke free for 2 years now! Good Luck.

Answer 8

Well done for quitting firstly. And as for the cravings to stop.....they wont. There will always be times that u fancy a cigarette but the longer u have been quit for the more you will feel self achievement and not want to start smoking again as u know how hard its been to quit this time. Ive tried quitting 3 times, i know the 3rd and 4th day is so awful for the cravings but do try and get thru them as it will get easier. I started smoking again cos i enjoyed it. Though i have to admit it makes you smell quite bad. After 2 weeks the cravings should become a little easier. I know a woman who has been quit for 9 months and she still craves for a cigarette, everyone is different tho. good luck.

Answer 9

i think your withdrawal will last for a while. I'm not certain but you have to remember that quitting is for your best and that you have the strength to stop smoking. Good luck. You'll be feeling like a nonsmoker once you get through this.
