Start Sucking Lollipops.. sounds stupid.. but does work.. look bit silly aswell.. but oh well..thats what iv been doing.. not had a cig in 4 days.. and chewing gum
well proud..I-ve never actually smoked, but my dad uses chewing gum, it supresses his need to smoke and the need to eatI ate wintergreen lifesavers like they were going out of style! I also stayed away from alcohol for the first 6 wks (I smoked twice as much when I drank!). Another thing I did was brush my teeth and mouthwash alot (who wants to spoil a fresh mouth with a cig right?!). The first few days I avoided other smokers, but after about 7-10 days, I was able to sit with my husband when he smoked and it didnt bother me...too much! We also stopped all smoking in the house and the truck...that helped. Honestly, people can only give u ideas that worked for them, but u need to find what works best for u. I tried every nicotine gum and patch out there, as well as taking ziban (the dreams I had were f***ed up), and in the end, cold turkey is what worked for me. Find ur own groove...
If u relapse, no biggie, just keep trying! Good luck, hope this helped! =)What ever you would not normally do, get out of the habit of smoking when on the phone, after meals, get up and go for a walk, not a fag. Take up things that occupy your hands and mind, crossword puzzles, take up knitting, write a letter, learn something you have never done before. Go get a glass of water, cut some veg and keep in the fridge to nibble on rather then drag on a smelly fag.
Soon as you have saved a couple of quid from not smoking, treat yourself to something really nice, new hair style, new clothes, if you weaken, don-t beat your self up, start again. Remember journey of a million miles begins with one step at a time, (One day at a time)
Hang in there, its worth it, I know, I did it !!! Good luck xOur local hospitals are offering hypnotherapy to help quit smoking. It may sound hokey, but a co-worker of mine tried it and AFTER ONE TREATMENT gave up the cigarettes and hasn-t touched them since (it has been over three years). The cool thing is most health care plans will pay for some or all of the cost of the hypnotherapy sessions. It-s worth checking out. I wouldn-t have believed it would work if I hadn-t seen it with my own eyes.
