Help me to stop smoking or my husband will kick me out please? -

Its not just the nicotine. Its also the other 50+ chemicals they out in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.
We have been used to having body sensations which we translate as -my body needs something, which we have attempted to satisfy by having a cigarette.
When we try to stop smoking, we still get these -my body needs something- sensations, and we still feel that we want a cigarette. We have to train our body to be more selective. When we feel we need something, we have to work out what it is that we actually need.
A glass of water is an excellent substitute if nothing else comes to mind, as it helps with the clearance of the toxic substances in our body. Another good substitute is a bag of salted peanuts, used in combination with the water.
Another thing to do is to find an activity which occupies the mind or body. Go swimming - nobody wants to smoke while they are swimming. Slowly, as our body adjusts and translates the -want something- feelings into something other than cigarettes, then the feelings begin to go away. We know its not a cigarette that the body really needs, because as soon as we-ve had one we still have the feeling, and want another!this is a good enough incentive! besides over the counter nicotene replacements, you can try prescription nicotene replaecments as well. You can consider zyban or a new drug called chantix, see a doctor, it can be done, good luckThis method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.
I quit smoking 2 years ago


Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.

Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”

The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS

Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.

It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!

Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.

The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….

TO BE FREE!

What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?

The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.

The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.

No Gimmicks!

The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!

The Allen Carr Method is successful because:

It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.

Medical Endorsements

A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health

“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”

Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees

“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”

Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital

“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”

Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong

“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”

Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London

”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”

Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP

“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”

Celebrity Endorsements

-His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson

“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins

Can you get hypnotherapy for stopping smoking on the nhs? -

Can you get hypnotherapy for stopping smoking on the nhs? -

im desperate to stop smoking! ive tried so many things can anyone help?It depends on your GP to be honest, both on his/her funding policy and their personal attitude to complementary therapies (although most people accept hypnotherapy as mainstream now).

Two options: 1) ask - the worst he/she can say is no, or 2) call the surgery and ask just generally what the practice-s policy is on using complementary therapies.

Unfortunately, some docs are still in the stone age on this and are much happier to dish out pills than either attempt to get to the bottom of a problem, eg. why you smoke, and/or attempt to find the most effective treatment for each patient, which can vary considerably. In practice, as you-ve found, not all things work for all people.

My advice would be to ask, then if no, ask why (trying read a few articles which back up hypnotherapy as an effective treatment for smoking to quote at him/her!), then list the things you-ve tried and not succeeded with, and ask again (keep pestering!!). If you can show your commitment to this then argument about cost should be irrelevant, and the key thing is that you know yourself and what will / won-t work for you better than he/she does!! Good luck :o)

Gained weight SLOWLY from Birthcontrol and :) I stopped smoking :) question in the details! ..? -

okay i stopped smoking and started birthcontrol around the same time last year!
first thing the weight looks GREAT on me i-m not 125 - 130 lbs instead of 95-100 trust me I look better!
but i-m not rich and was wondering if there was a way to trim down my belly and thighs as of now I use a stepper machine and I do a lot of hiking! I don-t want them to lose a lot of weight just enough so my close don-t cut my ciruculation off while i-m at work!
I have put aside a clothing fund to get something new from each pay check but that still takes time and as more time goes on the more tight my cloths get
oh yeah i do sit - ups and crunches and leg lifts to!
am i working out to much on my legs??? Other then the wait game is there anything else that i could do I really dont want to lose the weight well a little untill i can get a new line of clothing! I was not expecting to gain 30-35 lbs but now that is- here i don-t want it to go!You are confusing me. If you want to fit into your old clothes, you have to lose some weight. If you like your weight, which sounds absolutely fine, you have to get new clothes. Exercising is good and will help your body look great and distribute the weight more evenly, and you should do it. But the overall volume will not change, so the clothes will have to change. Otherwise you must get on a balanced diet together with teh exercise.
