i wanna quit smoking?

Question

smoking

Answer 1

Good. I quit 19 months ago since June 15th 2005. If you have the real motivation then you can do it. You just need to never give in because if you can get through the first month then you are on a winner.
The next 2 months after that get much easier all the time. By the time you are in your 4th month you can go through your day without even thinking about cigarettes then the rest is just getting time under your belt. I celebrated on New Years day my first complete calendar year of not smoking in the entire 2006. Now I look forward to June and being my 2nd year anniversary.

You see you just got to set goals for yourself and motivations and that really helps you to quit. I no longer crave cigarettes and do not spend my day thinking or missing them though I had smoked a pack a day for 21 years. I quit cold turkey it was the hardest but shortest route out. But I keep myself motivated all the time with goals each a step to celebrating success.

The cravings will pass and the habit of smoking will fade. At first you may look on seeing people smoking with envy but you stay firm in your belief you want to do this and not fall you will be rewarded and I can tell you quitting smoking and no longer being a slave to nicotine does amazing wonders to your self confidance. You really feel you achieved you broke through the pain barrier and won.

Set goals to keep you motivated

Remember why you want to quit smoking

Keep your eyes on the prize and stay focused to it

When feeling weak remember it is only temporary for a few days
The first month is the hardest you will ever suffer in your whole quit get through that barrier and the real hard work is over.

The cravings and habit really slide off quicky because your brain and body have begun to accept and re-learn to live without nicotine and the habit of cigarettes. Mornings no longer seem a strain and going without a cigarette for the rest of the day is no big drama anymore.

3 months you feel like a non smoker would - you feel great, your food tastes great and you will greatly notice that smokers breaths after they smoked a cigarette smells like stale sh*t more than ever before. Really keeps you motivated to continue not smoking.

Well I have given you my support and what to expect but mainly it is all down to you. You can do it and it is really just staying away from smoking and getting through the goals you set.
1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month and so on....
4 weeks is the barrier you need to break through then after that if you want to continue then it is your own free decision because you will have gotten through the worst you will ever experience because after that it just gets easier and easier, you'll feel it.

Good Luck !!!!

Answer 2

If you're looking for a strategy, I say go with this:

The nicotine patches are often very helpful to control your "steady state" or continuous needs for nicotine. Be sure to pick one that is equivalent to how much you were smoking previously. Too much nicotine can make you feel jittery or nauseated or give you a headache (etc...).

Then ALSO use something like the gum or lozenges (I hear the Committ lozenges are pretty tasty) for the times when you have cravings.

If your insurance will cover it, also consider Wellbutrin (or Xyban when used for smoking cessation) which is an antidepressant that has the added effect of significantly increasing your chance of quitting.

In combination, these three things will help you. Check with your insurance if they are covered, as the patch and gum can get pricey if you buy them over the counter.

Also, if you should start smoking again, don't look at your attempt to quit as a failure--most ex-smokers had to "practice" quitting 2-3 times (or more) before quitting for good.

Answer 3

Stop Smoking Start Vaping

Answer 4

Here is what I ask my patients:
"Here is an envelope. What would have to be in this envelope that would make you quit smoking for good?"

Is it a ticket to your child's graduation that you may never get to see?
Is it the ability to walk up stairs without getting out of breath?
Is it the great feeling you'll have when you tell the waiter that you prefer non smoking?
Is it a plane ticket to the Bahamas that you bought with all the money you saved on cigarettes?
Is it being alive to see your grandchildren?

It is kind of morbid to think about but it's what other people are already thinking about when they see you smoking.

Good luck!

Answer 7

I'm not sure I understand the question here. Id you're asking US do YOU want to quit smoking that's quite diffucult as I don't know for certain that you DO smoke.

If you do smoke, and you want to quit buy the gum and patches, or get them free on NHS if youre in UK. Will power alone is always tough.

Answer 8

There is a new medication available that has been working better than any we have had before. It is called Chantix. Some insurance companies are covering it, but if yours doesn't or if you do not have insurance: the daily pill costs less than a pack of cigarettes. I am a physician assistant and I have been ordering it for my patients and have had patients who have been able to quit for the first time ever. See your health care provider....I'm sure they would be happy to order it for you....if you're interested there is also a website.

Answer 9

Just take the decision and stop, no if but or and about it, stay with the decision and avoid places and situations where smoking was usually done for the first 6 months. Make sure that you tell all your friends and workmates this is a good incentive not to restart and last throw away the last packet or pack of tobacco.

Answer 10

Hypnotherapy or Hypnotism, much the same really, I was a heavy smoker and was still smoking just before I went in to the Hypnotists room, she did the bit, took abt 1 hr and £85 and i haven't looked back, it was really weird, I lay there thinking , "this is not gonna work" but I walked out, car smelt of cigs, packet was on the side, and I haven't touched one since, no withdrawel, I put on a bit of weight, but it is coming off again now , year later. One thing I will say is you have to be ready to do it, I set a rough date in my head months before and just said,"that is when it is gonna happen" and it did,
good luck
