It is SO hard to stop smoking...anyone been successful at cutting back? -
I quit for almost 2 years now. I used the patch and the pill both! I quit on the 12th of may and my dad died on the 16th, everyone knew I-d start back smoking but that only made me stronger because he always lectured me about it. I am so proud of myself!! I still want one sometimes but I really feel better, gained 30 pounds but I feel better!Just say NO!The only successful quitters I know went cold turkey and suffered until they got over it.i been pretty well smoke free except for ceremonial use...i am first nations...other then that i quit cold turkey...wasn-t easy...the first month is the hardest i think...well it was for me anyways lol.The habitual triggers that make you want to smoke, are usually the most challenging to quit, more so than the actual nicotine, which is out of your system by 1 - 3 days. But they are just learned habits you-ve got into, and habits can be unlearned and replaced with better things. Get plenty of help at this website:http://www.quitguide.com
I was unable to cut back and had to quit cold turkey. I relapsed on 3 different occasions before I was finally able to put it down for good. My advice to you is to go on a total health kick that involves giving up all harmful substances(including meat and junk food)and involves exercise and Bible study. If you substitute an increase in someother harmful substance such as alcohol, caffeine, junk food, or meat for smoking you could still be in serious trouble.I quit maybe a thousand times until I got hypmotized and this worked not smoked in 20 years and if not quit I would be in bad trouble wished I could have quit sonner
