quitting cigs

get lots of hard candy(suckers and such).. toothpicks... gum... anything to keep your mouth occupied... i'd be willing to be that "cigarette addiction" is at least 50% oral fixation... i know it was for me anytime i tried quitting.. only reason i start back up is cuz i just like smoking too much..

 

good luck! I hope you lick this one - I remember my dad trying to quit after like, 20 years. (30 years, actually) seeing how hard it was for him was the # 1 reason I never took it up. But anyway, he did it. It took him maybe 3 tries (I was about 7 or 8 - I hid his cigarettes - I thought I was helping!) but he finally quit for good, so you can do it.

making some kind of change to your daily habits will be a big help - & just be prepared, there will be a short time which will suck, but once its out of the way you'll be all right.

 

Understand you have a choice. You can either keep doing it or you can quit. If you want to keep doing it then you like to do it. If you didn't want to smoke you wouldn't smoke. I am currently on the works on quitting. I quit buying packs about a year ago and I only smoke about 2 ciggerettes every day. At anytime I can just quit.

 

Well I ran out of smokes last night and I am trying my hardest not to buy a pack. I have gone as far as giving my mom my money to hide. I really want to quit but the temptation is so strong. I am surrounded by smokers constantly. But this is something I really need to do. I appreciate all the help and support from you guys.

Day 1 with no cigs is looking good so far.

 

hmmm quiting never was a problem for me i just keep on restarting smoking after a week somtimes moth anyway heres my method to stop smoking its 99% guaranteed to work.
At night befor u fall asleep just visper a promise to your self something like this: i (your full name) promise that i will not smoke cigarets for the next week. but realy mean it and dont say somthing like i will never smoke agein or for a year coz thet is just to overhelming.
iin the folowing morning and the rest of the week u will feel that u have power,control over your self and the cigarets u will be able to say no very easily becose u will have no choice un made a promise and u have to stick to it!
hope this helps

 

Its 2:15 and I woke up at ten I have only had one cig all day since I woke up. So far its going pretty good.

 

hey good job!
i wish i had that kinda willpower to quitt.. blah

 

i recently read a book titled "Time must have a stop" by aldous huxley, in it the main character describes smokers as people who have yet to be weened off of their mothers teat.... think about it, its very true, and when applied to your own smoking and that of others, it doesnt seem logical any more but a crutch.
