If i stop smoking cigerettes i am getting sleep during day hours?Why? -

I-m feeling tired and sleepy during day hours.. How can i become active?It-s a withdrawal symptoms.

You may try Nicotine Patch, Nicotine Gum, Nicotine Nasal Spray or Nicotine Inhaler to quit smoking.How long are you going without the cancer sticks? You-re body needs time to adjust to the depletion of poison. Nicotine replaces a chemical in your brain that allows neurons to communicate. When you stop smoking, the body has to create and reintroduce that chemical again. Headaches are common. Your lungs are doing clean-up overtime also. Simply, lot of work for the body. Take 1/2 hour walks daily and eat according to the government food pyramid.that-s a pretty common withdrawal complaint...remember nicotine is ONE powerful drug...Nicotine is a stimulant. Your body got used to that stimulation, so is feeling sleepy now. It-ll pass. Drink lots of water.You-re probably feeling like crap for two reasons.

First is the chemical withdrawl from nicotine. Nicotine is a stimulant. Research shows the effect is enhanced by caffeine as well. You-re getting used to a lack of chemical stimulation.

At the same time, your red blood cells are operating at significantly less than peak efficiency. Because of carbon monoxide bonding to hemoglobin, they can-t carry as much oxygen to - and carbon dioxide from - your body-s cells.

Hence the lethargy.

Try eating healthier to start. Ditch junk food and fatty meats. Go with lean meats and lots of vegetables and fruit, the fresher the better.

Then, just take small steps to exercise. Start with a short walk, then add a little every day until you can do a few miles. Start speeding up your pace, and before you know it, you-ll feel really good without the weed.

Side effect: Increased exercise should increase your body-s churn rate of red blood cells, excising the tainted cells and replacing them with fresh ones.

Also, if possible, try and donate a pint of blood regularly. If your local blood bank will accept it, the regular withdrawls from your person will also speed the churn rate, since the body has to replace what you just gave up.

How can I get my brother to stop smoking pot, popping pills, doing cold medicine, etc? -

How can I get my brother to stop smoking pot, popping pills, doing cold medicine, etc? -

My brother is 17 and every single afternoon and weekend gets high on pot or cold medicine, and pills with his friends. My mom and I have done everything to make him stop. (at least the pot. Since the smell/smoke gets sucked into the central air vents and comes up filling the whole house with the smell, and I also get severely ill when I smell pot at all).

We-ve taken away all the stash of it we found, but his friend Matt still brings in more. Matt has already been arrested six times for pot possession and intent to sell, and STILL does it. Somehow these three kids get their hands on pot, pills, beer, etc...we-ve tried taking everything away, removing my brother-s bedroom door, allowing him not to go anywhere, allowing nobody over the house.There-s just no end in sight and none of them want to stop.

So...any suggestions? I-d love to call the police and just turn them all in...but then I fear I would get in trouble too, because in the eyes of the law I-m an adult.no need to stop him because he will soon be deadIt sounds like he needs professional help and may need to be committed to an institution that can help him. I don-t think that calling the cops will help anything. They just exacerbate the problem. The cops might put him in jail. But is that what you want for your brother? The jail system won-t do anything to help his problem. He has an OTC and illicit drug addiction.

We live in a society that thinks it-s perfectly normal and ok to pop pills and elixirs for minor illnesses, drink alcoholic beverages (In the right circumstance, Vodka could fuel a car), eat bad food, or eat food substances that have been industrially processed into drugs (white table sugar), so it doesn-t surprise me that so many people in U.S.A. and other modern societies have problems with substance abuse.

The suggestions by happiebaby are very good alsoThe short answer is you can-t do anything but be there.... Just look at these superstars... until your brother WANTS helps, you can;t help him, but be READY when he does ask... try small steps.... I know it-s scary, I-ve ben there with my daughter, which is why we-re raising our grandson, but she-s STILL not ready to accept help... and no matter what program we throw at her (tough love, phsyotherapists, group meetings, domestic violence classes, moving.. etc...) she goes right back to her old ways, becase she-s not ready to change yet..

Save yourself.. and your sanity... there are classes and help for -survivors- and I found them to be alot of help at the time, and now that we have her child, I-m finding them helpful again.

I hope one day my daughter will walk through my door, clean, healthy and happy, but I-m also now prepapred mentally that may never happen..

You must get yourself to that point... figure it out for yourself, even if it means perhaps some tough love like throwing him out to show him you mean business that you won-t accept that kind of behaviour under your roof. Afterall like you say, you could go to jail!

It WILL come to you, and you will find a half-way peace most days...

Hang in there... Give him the tools... and stand back.. and take care of yourselfHon if y-all don-t get help for him now its the hard stuff next.Talk to a hot line they can give you more info good luck god bless

SMOKERS DO NOT SMOKE FOR THE REASONS THEY SHOULDN-T SMOKE. TELL THEM THAT AND THE FIRST THING THEY WILL DO IS LIGHT A CIGARETTE. IT-S RIGHT INFRONT OF GOVERNMENTS EYES, THE SUCCESS OF ALLEN CARR METHOD IS OVERWHELMING.

Any -experts- reading this, please do not continue to be arrogant, and listen to Allen Carr.

Read Allen Carr-s Easyway to stop smoking or attend one of his clinics.
This really does remove all the hysteria surrounding different ways to stop.
When you are finally convinced to use his method and understand, you will just know.
Allen seems to have built a successful chain of over 75 clinics world wide, without the luxury of being aloud to advertise, you see you can-t advertise none smoking stuff without saying -willpower required-, beleive me, you do not need willpower.
His first book has sold many millions has been a best seller every year since it was first published, translated into over 25 languages.
The arrogance of many so called -experts- is EVIDENTLY rediculous, why has the government and NHS not adopted this method or at least refer. Come on, all the successful corporations use the method. **** the pharmacitical industry and its advertising, they profit hugely from nicotine adicts and their sales of patches gum and other substitutes. Allens method is THE method for none smokers and ex smokers alike.

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINKKRELIGIOUS Rehabilitation centers are the best way to quit smoking. Do it for God, do it for your self. The best motivation for ex-smokers that I know is the word of God and prayers. Sounds foolish but true. What is good looks uncool to most people, but in reality it is for the glory of GODI think that the government should stop harrassing smokers when smokers pump in taxes of £8 billion a year on cigarrettes and cost only £4billion in smoking related diseases on the NHS, plus they die sooner.
So Allen Carr is good if people WANT to stop smoking but the government and anti smokers should know where its bread is buttered from if they don-tI-m not a smoker nor have I ever been. (but I-ve lost people to it) And I don-t know who Allen Carr is. But I can absolutely agree with you that a ridiculous amount of money is being made off of the bad health habits of people. If I wanted to stop I would just not commit the money to the habit anymore. It-s really a selfish habit, not a privilege. I can think of a lot better things to spend money on.smoking is probbaly one of the most singlehandedl most useless things in life, having no beenfits what so ever, only multiple flaws such as the numeraous health problem as well as the bad physical image it brings forwardA complex program is the best.Chewing gum is the best way! :)Do crack instead.just put them down. That is the way i did after 10 yearsThe benefit to smoking is calming...for most. That nicotine just seems to do the trick the right way. But the only real way to quit smoking is to go cold turkey. Don-t buy yourself any more packs and get rid of any extras you have around the house. You do however have to replace the smoking with another habit. Most choose eating more food than usual. But what I found helpful was having lots of fruit on hand. I was used to having something at my mouth so I would also keep a pencil to chew on....lol. I know seems weird but it definitely helped. I guess, too each their own.That you really want too, also changing your thinking how you look at smoking.

I guess you have to be willing to break the habit and do what it takes. Different things work for different people. It-s all to do with your thinking. For example some people say I can-t give up until a certain event is though it won-t be fun without a smoke. Straight away you have set yourself up for fail. You got to want it and make up in your mind. All the best. (I still smoke, not ready to stop)
