What is the best way to cope with deppression after stopping smoking? -
i stopped smoking over 4 weeks ago, its weird i have coped really well over the first 4 weeks but now feel depressed and had urges to smoke.First of all good on you for quitting!I done a lot of crossword puzzles, I found it kept my mind and hands busy, when I was doing them I didn-t even think of smoking. Hang in there your doing wellI-ll be honest. I have never smoked, but I have had serious depression. A funny thing about my depression. The first medication to bring me out of it, after 12 years of hell was a medication called Wellbutrin, and I mean hell. I was hit by a car in 1980 and 2 months later I went into a serious depression. In 1992, Wellbutrin, pulled me out of that deep dark lake. Wellbutrin is also called Zyban. Zyban, apparently helps people stop smoking. Well, some people. No guarantees. That-s the thing about medications. There are never guarantees. We are all different. But, I thought I-d pass the information along in case you want to check it out.
If you choose to take Zyban and have any mild side effects like dry mouth, they will most likely abate within 2 weeks. Most people don-t realize that about medications; that side effects pass within 2 weeks. As an RN, I thought I would pass that info along, too. So, you are now informed. Best of luck.keep it up

Spiritual healing
Harry Edwards recalled the case of a young man who, accompanied by a lady, was brought to me for healing. He was in great pain and eaten-up with arthritis. As the healing proceeded, so his pains left him, and his joints began to loosen and become free. When I had finished treating him, it was a real delight to see how wonderfully glad he was to be able to use his legs, feet, arms and hands again... and then he told me: -When I came here, I was convinced no one could help me, and I came only to please my Aunt, who brought me.-
You worked a miracle with his father when he was very ill 1983-84 when I wrote to you, but you will be pleased to know he is now working for the Council and lives a fairly normal life.
I-s report is complete - he is 100% fit and will have no trouble in resuming his sporting activities -considering the first reports, this is a miracle. I do not know how I would have managed without your wonderful help.
You and the late Harry Edwards helped me so often and indeed I am still pressing on 18 years after I was expected to die from my last bout of cancer.
I wrote to ask for healing for my sister who was to undergo an operation for aneurysm in the aorta. Her operation was very successful. After 1 day in intensive care and 2 days in progressive care she was back in her own room and has done extremely well. She was allowed home after 7 days when she had been told to expect to be in hospital for 10 to 15 days. Everyone was amazed at her recovery and the surgeon told her she had been a perfect patient. I feel sure the absent healing and our prayers were to a great extent responsible for this wonderful recovery and I thank you most sincerely for your help.
I thought perhaps you would like to have a record of the people you have helped during the time I have been sending reports. M.L. -angina, complete recovery. D. L. -duodenal ulcer, complete healing. B.L. - Angina, complete recovery. P.D. - Leukaemia - apparent full recovery.
On behalf of my mother, daughter and myself may I thank you for the lovely day at your Sanctuary last Tuesday. My mother is so much better it is truly amazing. She can stretch out her arms and even raise them to her head and her walking is much stronger. My daughter was very impressed, too. 1141/6
My condition improved in as much as I now have much more self-confidence and ability to deal with my everyday life. 1145/6
G.S. Good news. Up until recently he had to be helped to get into and out of his car. It is adapted to enable a disabled person to drive, The other day he got into his car entirely on his own and drove some 12 miles to a nearby town. Got out on his own and went into a shop to make a purchase. No wheelchair anymore! 1142/6
You both, along with our friends in Spirit, have been directing healing for our daughter who, as I told you, has been given a full bill of health, thank you. 1146/6
I must report to you the miracle that soon after writing to you about my husband-s ill health due to smoking, he decided to give up the habit and has not smoked since. I never thought it possible. It has been well worth it all. His general health has improved considerably. 1148/6get a hobby, read do anything to take your mind off it because it sounds like your mind is trying to convince you that life without (inhaling noxious fumes) smoking isn-t not worth it which is mad because how many millions of people dint smoke and lead great lives!
ok i gave up using hypnotherapy a few weeks ago and am not struggling anymore!Hard to say. I have seen few of my friends go through the same phase. A friend of mine hadn-t smoked in ayear but then he was having troubling times and he just caved. It-s not about socialising since he used to hang out with us but depression can act on you even when you are with friends.
Dealing with depression is hard. But one thing you should never do is letting the depression get better of you. Do something to get your mind off it (dont- smoke though). Work out. Play sports. Swim. Run. Physically exerting yourself doesn-t let your brain dwell on sad things. After the exercise, eat and then go to sleep.
Other than that you have to find out ways not to let depression set in and crave for smoke. Get some self-help books also.u have to replace smoking with something else like doing favorite sport with any friend reading books learning another language may be u can put some change to your life and u can also read these articles at

RonDEEP BREATHES, KEEP BUSY, PRAYER, COMEDIES, NO DRINKING. YOUR BRAIN IS TRYING TO FOOL YOU TO COME BACK TO THE DARK SIDE. I LOST TWO FRIENDS TO SMOKING...ONE WAS MY FATHER. I QUIT. DO NOT COUNT THE PASSING OF TIME FOR NOT SMOKING...IT WILL PASS ON ITS OWN. GOOD LUCKMaybe try and do interesting things with friends such as going to cinema or to the beach. Also exercising releases hormones that make you feel good, so try adn increases physical activity.people usually smoke to fill a gap or socialize then get addicted. Try to socialize and try not to give up other things you did do.I chewed gum like crazy and would for for drives with windows down and my fav music on. Clear your mind and think of the music playing.congs for not smoking... keep ur will power strong... nothing can go beyond ur will power...start again :d
