OK folks, boy, do I ever need some advice. How the heck can I stop smoking? -
promised my girlfriend I would quit over a year ago - she left me because of it - met someone new, same thing, interested but doesn-t want to date a smoker - I know that it-s time to quit - how ? what to do when I get the urge ?are there any magical ways to quit once and for good?
thanks for your help !
Micheal in Montreal, Canadato start off.. stop buying packs
you-ll be forced to bum them off people
and no one likes bumming all the time
you-ll start smoking less and less
then make -smoking days-
only allow yourself to smoke every two days or something
but on that day you can smoke as many as you want
seriously give it a shot
its working for me..i feel so much healthierMagic? you want magic?
Motivation is important. You need to make a list of the bad things about smoking. Look at pictures of yellow teeth, cancerous lungs.
Pick a quit date in advance...tell everyone about it. Get rid of lighters, ashtrays. Identify times/places/situations you really enjoy a cigarette and figure out how to change those events so they won-t trigger a craving
Wash all your stinky clothes that reek of tobacco
Try a nicotine replacement system until you change your other habits and rituals around smoking, then taper yourself off the nicotine
Things like hypnosis, laser, acupuncture etc work by the placebo effect. They can help in very very motivated people, but they aren-t -magical cures-
You-ve asked this in AltMed, but have you heard of Champix? It is a new Rx drug that blocks nicotine receptors in the brain. This takes away any of the pleasure smoking may give you. I-ve had patients lose interest almost immediately with it. It-s not for everyone, but you should talk to your doctor about it. The cost is about the same as you are spending on cigarettes anyway.Sorry baby no magic you just got to want it believe me Ive tried and I realized I just don-t really want to quit Ive been smoking 40 years and haven-t quit so its up to you if you really really want to quit you can I just don-t want to I enjoy it and it will probably kill me but for now I smoke so its up to you. Good Luck.i tried 3 times and finally i succeeded. That was more than 20 years ago. The first time i quit smoking was for health. It lasted about a few months. The second time i quit so i save money. It lasted more than a year. Finally i quit smoking because i love Prophet Mohammad ( i am a muslim ) and i didnt even lit a stick till now. Well i guess love is a very big influence. Good luck!1) Consider using Nicoderm CQ. I found it very helpful.
2) Identify your triggers - put healthy snax in those places. My triggers were when I was driving, drinking coffee or on the phone.
3) Tell your Doctor your plans to quit. S/he may be able to offer additional resources.
Good luck! After using Nicoderm CQ 15 years ago, I have remained smoke free. I used to smoke 2 1/2 pax daily.Mike,
