How can i stop smoking???? -
ok does anyone no how i can stop smoking,with out buying anything for it????~i can-t buy anything for it cause i don-t have no money :( ~so someone please help me!!!!!I smoked from the age of 13 til 26 the whole time thinking I-d be able to stop when I WANTED to. Then that time came and no matter how much I told myself not to smoke I kept going back.One day at work, my boss asked me if I wanted to quit smoking and my response was -who doesn-t?- That day was to change my life... forever.
I am now nearly 33 and haven-t had a cigarette since 2 weeks after my boss asked me that question. How? I read a book! It was that simple and you can continue to smoke while you-re reading the book... it-s by Allen Carr and if you WANT to quit check out his website below.
Quitting smoking was the easiest (yes easiest) and most empowering thing I-ve ever done. I couldn-t have done it without the book.Tie your hands behind your backjust say no...cold turkeyBut you have money to buy cigarettes? Try making a spread sheet where you calculate how much money you spend on smokes during a year. Multiply that amount by 10% to show how much money you would have if you invested the money instead. Then do the same for another year and compound the interest from the first year and add it to the total for the second year and repeat the process for a 20 year time period. You will be shocked at the amount of money you will have given to the tobacco company. Depending on the cost of a carton of smokes, if you invested your money, you would have close to a million dollars... This doesn-t take into account the annual increase in cigarette prices which would only multiply the end result tremendously. Now ask yourself. Who can make better use of this money, you or the tobacco company? Wouldn-t you rather have a new car, boat, even a house, etc. rather than give the money to the tobacco company? I decided ten years ago, that I could use the money more then paying to be a slave to tobacco.YOU CAN TAKE THAT PACK OF CIG-s AND THROW THEM AWAY. IT-S HARD BUT WELL WORTH IT. MY SWEETY HAD TO QUIT, AND NOT BY CHOICE. HE HAD A HEART ATTACK. SO WHEN HE WAS IN I.C.U. PEOPLE KEPT ASKING ME IF HE SMOKED. I TOLD THEM NOT ANY MORE......THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHEN HE QUIT, I TOLD THEM TODAY.........AND HE HASN-T SMOKED SINCE.IT-S BEEN OVER FOUR MONTHS.if you just like the feeling of something in your mouth. then use a tooth pick put it in your mouth when you feel the need to smoke. I haven-t smoked EVER! but i see some people doing it. they said it helps them quit real fast.wellll its gonna be hard to quit cold turkey youll have a better chance of quitting if you cut back a little at a time...what i did that REALLY helped me is i would -punish- myself to smoke...for example my thing was i had to do 100 situps BEFORE i went to smoke (you have to do it before or else you wont do them) that way even if you do end up smoking, at least your body is benefiting in some way...plus after a few days the thought of doing situps will make you wanna cry and then you cant smoke because you dont wanna to them!! haha just remember that the average craving lasts 3-5 minutes...they will be a hard few minutes, but you can do ANYTHING for 3-5 minutes right?!Good luck with that. If you have insurance try chantix. It-s greatIf you have no money, that should help alot. You won-t be able to buy any. Those things are expensive...
Oh. You mean no money to buy anything to HELP you stop smoking. Okay. That-s different.
Go out into your garden or a non-chemical lawn and pick some Red Clover. Make a tea out of it. Drink as often as you can. It-ll help get rid of the toxins in your system, and fight the cravings by purging your nicotine. If you smoke while you are taking it, it just can-t help you.
Find some fresh corn husks in the garbage. Dry the silk. Roll it up in a paper or burn it as an incense. That should take the edge off of your smoke inhaling needs, while it also heals lung tissue.
Now. Think hard. Do you want to be an addict for the rest of your life? If a meth head still has just one hit of meth every once and while, does that mean they are off it? Or are they still a freakin- addict?
You are an addict. Your addiction of choice is cigarettes, but you are a slave to it, letting it suck your money and your health and killing you in painful, disgusting ways. Would you let someone else torture you to death that way? Or steal your money every day?
With motivation, and some help with the biochemical issues, I am convinced you can easily beat this. I have a friend who smoked since he was 12. At 25, he decided he no longer wanted to be an addict and stopped. Just stopped. After three days, he never had another craving. It-s your body and mind. It-s all up to you.Substitute a new habit.
My dad started eating mini-carrots when he quit smoking. He also joined a group of smokers who were trying to quit as well. For him, this worked.
Best of luck!!self confidence in yourself. you have to tell yourself i wont smoke and rip all of them up.A Yahoo search for -how to quit smoking- will give you a wealth of useful information and advice.well seeing as my dad is dying of cancer in the hospital as we speak from cigs i think i can help...he has realized after 35 years of smoking he has to do something...or it is that he has been in the hospital and cannot smoke either or...every week smoke one less cigarette...eventually your body will be lazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyy the last week because you don-t have the nicotine in you but you will be jittery (don-t have company over, it-s for the best)....very jittery...if you have to, buy nicotine gum or patches, it-s not as expensive as cigarettes.the next two weeks after (depending on how addicted you are) you will be out of your mind the three weeks after you-ve officially quit...do hobbies such as chewing gum, card games, painting, anything to keep your mind off cigarettes...you might want to plan when to do this because like i said you will be jittery. also if it helps...have family support it will mean ALOT to you when you do think to have just ONE cigarette.make it impossible to get them, im under eighteen and i lost my connection and couldnt get any and i quite real quicck
