No secret to quitting. The most important step is to want to quit for yourself. The second most important step is will power. I found patches did help with cravings. Replacing your smoker routine with something else to free you mind.
you have to want to quit for you. i quit thanks to pneumonia. i was so sick i couldnt handle the idea of anything making it any more difficult to breathe. by the time i felt better, it had been over a week and i knew the nicotine was out of my system and the rest was all habits. it was rough and i was grouchy, but i got off the cigs.
put your cigarette money towards your fish? get a big tank to occupy your time and your hands or every time you want a smoke, pick up your baby or hug your wife instead
Good luck with kicking the habit. Like mentioned , you have to want to quit. I quit cold turkey by accident. I was hanging around with a girl that didn't smoke so I didn't smoke while I was with her. After spending most of the day and night with her by the next morning I thought hey , why don't I quit. I threw the rest of the cigs in the garbage and never had another one since. I think that was back in 1988 or 89.
I had smoked probably 20 years, 2 packs a day. I work out now at least a couple times a week .
The crazy thing is when I've had dreams that I was smoking and thought how I blew it after all those years of quitting
hmm well you have my support. my aunt has and still smokes 1 - 2 packs a day even tho she has lukimia and keeps on going through kemo. my dad tried to make her stop but she wouldnt and said she could quit whenever and that when she did my dad would give up his computers...it's been longer then 13 years and she hasnt quit yet. it's a hard habit to break but you can do it
I smoked for over 22 years and quit several times, only to start back up. The way I gave it up for ever was to set my mind to the notion that I didn't quit (since I can always start back up again), but I just don't smoke anymore. It’s been over 10 years now since I stopped smoking, and it doesn't bother me at all. I am around people all the time that smoke, and I have no desire to start smoking. If you get your mind set right, you will make it.
Lol, cause I did so well at the last game, UD'ed before I even got to the computer to cast a vote.
I'll sit it out and see about doing it when I have time.
Smoked less then half a pack today, and most were after I burned the @%#* out of my fingers when grilling shrimp. Who knew metal skewers could stay so hot after a few minutes off the grill?
