Stop smoking? -
I have just given up smoking but cannot use nicotine patches etc as they make me ill but i cant get out of the bad mood that im in and im on the verge of strangling my 3 year old daughter. How long will i feel this way and does anybody have any tips for staying off the fags but staying in a good mood?Drink a lot of water, eat things with protein, peanuts, peanut m-m-s that sort of thing. The cravings are strongest for the first three days as the nicotine gets out of your system after that it-s psychological. Taking walks helps, too and they [walks] might tire your little one out enough to take a nap and give you a break. Best of luck to you and if you need a smoking cessation buddy, I am here for you.it doesn-t last too long, but it is different for everybody, I munched on carrot sticks when I was craving a cigarette. I couldn-t use patches etc as I was pregnant. A good tip is to avoid alcohol for a couple of months, especially if you tended to smoke more when you had a drink.Hahahaha. Try not to strangle her! You should only feel this way this STRONGLY for the first 3 days or so. Try eating sunflower seeds or chew gum in the meantime. Affirmations for quitting smoking (-I breathe clean, fresh air. I am stronger than any habit-)are a good way to remind you of the reasons for quitting smoking. Good luck! I-ll be going through what you-re going through soon because I plan to try quitting (AGAIN!) also...I gave up smoking 5 months ago having read Allen Carr-s Easy Way to Stop Smoking. I cannot recommend it enough, it changed my life! Forget patches, gum or other replacement therapies - Allen Carr completly changes your way of thinking regarding smoking. I smoked for 20 years and thought I-d be a smoker till the day I die (literally!). In his book he has great psychological advice for giving up including how to get past the first few days/weeks of not smoking.Also, the herb St John-s Wort is very good at treating mild depression, etc so you could give that a go - this might help alleviate your mood swings.
Most of all, keep it up, you CAN do it and please...read Allen Carr-s book!get you hands to do something come on Internet draw etc angry count to 100excersise!!!!!The answers that you-re seeing are actually right. The most successful stop smoking method is going Cold Turkey. It-s the most successful by FAR. But you have to be to the point of disgust where you-re ready to make the decision to just stop.

I stopped smoking without getting ratty with the help of two things, one was Allen Carr-s book and the other nicotine gum.
It took me three attempts to succeed but I realise now I wasn- t really ready to give up on the first two attempts.
You have to really really want to give up for it to succeed it-s no good if you are giving up because the media is telling you to.
I have heard that using oil of black pepper in a burner takes away the craving but I haven-t been able to get hold of any yet.try the nicotine gum...
