Answer 2

First off, congratulations for WANTING to quit smoking!!

As far as answering, there are a lot of ways, and it also depends on how much you've been smoking. The best ways are slowly lowering your dose (takes a long time sometimes), or going cold turkey (which is faster, but harder). Either way, the last thing is making the decision to quit, so you'll eventually have to deal with the withdrawal.

For the most part, when you deal with withdrawal, you'll just have to tough it out, but there are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may help to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal...
Drinking water will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may help as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even good amounts of fiber and water helps some people (although it's not very comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get).

All that being said, it's likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your last smoke (it's never as long as it feels like it is). Your neurotransmitters don't take too terribly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.
Another important thing to note is that no matter how bad it gets, taking more of the drug (and yes, nicotine is a drug) will only make the withdrawal last longer and will be harder on you in the long run. Good luck, and congrats again!

Perhaps a web search for "quit smoking" + "natural ways" might be useful.

Answer 5

start blasting cocaine. KIDDING!

just stop man, i know they say addictions this and addictions that... but the ONLY way people stop anything is by just stepping up and doing it themselves.

I know this is trite, but how about not getting cancer, being healthier, breathing cleaner, not smelling like crap, having higher oxygen contents in your blood leading to a more active sex life, etc... the list goes on and on and on and on.

A long time ago I smoked for a brief period, just decided one day, "What the hell am I doing to myself and why, what positive gains am I getting from this... ABSOLUTELY NONE". so I just stopped, that was IT. I decided I wanted to stop, so I DID. No excuses, no BS, no weakness... I just stopped.

You can do it too, anyone can, they just have to stop being wussies and do it.

just my thoughts.

Answer 6

The best advice i can give you is to stop worrying about it, what you should do is when you have a craving chew gum. And for your wife you should do something special for her to help her stress less and just show her tons of support =]
