I stopped smoking cold turkey? -

I stopped smoking cold turkey? -

(For the last...5 years I-ve smoked about 5- 10 cigarettes a day. I just quit three days ago.) Now I have a sore throat and I-m coughing a lot, I-m hungry constantly.

How can I make my cravings go away? And is there a better way to do this? My roommate has tried patches, gum, etc. but she always starts again, so that-s why I-m doing it this way.

Any encouragement? Tips? Tricks? Methods? Gross facts to keep me away from cigarettes? Hahathey-re nasty.
anddddd...
my grandpa started sweating TAR after smoking for 22 years. Yes, the black tar was leaking out of his body.

grosssssssss.

guys dont like girls with nasty cigg. breath.

KEEP GOING!! 21 days is the time period in which your cravings will be bad, after 21 days, you start not even noticing.Just rent alot of movies and keep your mind off it. Exercising (specifically sweating) will help as well (not immediately, but you will get through this withdrawal period alot faster). I quit 2 years ago after smoking a pack a day for about 12 years. If you can get past the first week, the second week isnt as bad. If you can get past the 2nd week, its all downhill from there. Cold turkey is the only way. I tried patches, gum, inhalers, all that, you-re right, none of it works. Good work and stay strong.suck on cough drops and life savers. also regular gum. (NOT NICOTINE!!)

dont eat constantly! eat normally, and try to work through your hunger.

take a motrin or something for your throat...OH!

its kind of gross but it works like magic.

you will need to get something that holds loose leaf tea, from the store.

boil some water, then take garlic and put it in the loose leaf tea thing and stir it.

GARLIC TEA.

it isnt really that bad. you have to drink all of it.

good luck! and good job with quitting =]Take a non-smoking lover. Go to a tropical island for a week. By the time you come back your world will have spun so much you will have forgotten the cravings.

Good luck.try gum or lifesavers candy. just know that-s it very bad for you and makes you and your breath stink. it-s expensive too. good luck, keep up the good work, you will be glad later!!I am so proud of you. Keep it up. Try gum or lifesavers, at least for the next 2 weeks. Then it will get easier. One day at time.All I want to tell you is Good Luck! You Can Do It!Good for you! i appluad you for your first step.
