Post for everyone who QUIT evil fags

I've been off them about 2 years now, used to smoke at least 20 a day for 20 years. I developed a terrible cough, which is why I quit. Still have the cough, but then so does my dad who never smoked in his life.

Sometimes I really crave a cig, but I can put it out of my mind easily enough.

A friend in work is now using the e-cigs and is steadily reducing the amount of nicotine in the refills. I would probably have went down this route too, if I'd have known about it at the time.
If you cannot see yourself being able to go cold turkey, I'd definitely give these a go.

As a former smoker, I am still craving from time to time. Back in the day, he had tried several times to quit. I stopped at once, and then again. I would start and stop more than ten years, without success. Finally I used a fine smoke program that worked for me. There are many other products that are available for those who want to quit smoking today and naturally that can be found easily on the internet.

Here are five tips to help you stop smoking naturally.

STEP 1

First, you need to be focused and motivated to quit. You must have a burning desire to be free of nicotine, is a demon, and it is difficult to give their best. You must combine the inner desire that contains determination, dedication, self control and self commitment with education strategies and techniques that you can learn from web sites, e-books, articles, therapists and audio programs video. In the end, however, be reduced to leave and how to create a life you smoke and your family without.

STEP 2

Read the facts about smoking and learn. Maybe if I knew what it was against, you want to run many times to try to stop and restart. Smoking is addictive for a reason and it's not your fault. The ingredients in cigarettes are put there to get you hooked once you start. There are over 599 bad ingredients in cigarettes. Worse, when the cigarette is lit, sent these 599 bad ingredients in the air and is dangerous to those around you.

STEP 3

Get a small notebook or pocket calendar. Keep a daily log. Every time you put a cigarette in hand (even if it does not start or even if you take a breath and put it), make a cut or a check mark. Add the number of times you touched one cigarette per day. Also dropped the price of a pack every time you buy a record of your daily life. At the end of the week, add it. Next week, eliminating one cigarette a day. Follow this procedure for every week you have to wean yourself off.

STEP 4

Use the tools, tips and support. The electronic cigarette or I-Cig is a smoking gadget that is battery powered and gives users the pleasure of smoking without the snuff, carbon monoxide, smell or ashes. One of the greatest advantages to the smoker, is that the use of the GC that you can restore your respiratory health, less than a year. The electronic cigarette is the same size as a normal cigarette, tastes like a cigarette, except it does not have to worry about dangerous chemicals that harm you. Above all, it is also used to improve your chances of not developing lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, or the many other health risks involved smoking. The cigarettes are 100% legal and the other good thing is you can smoke one of them, no matter where you are.

STEP 5

I could go cold turkey? The first three days are hard, then that makes it easier to heal from the clutches of nicotine. Did you also know that a diet based on plants can be useful when trying to quit smoking? Raisins, beets and beans are useful when you are trying to quit smoking. Unlike an acidic diet increases the urge to smoke. A plant-based diet is particularly useful when withdrawal symptoms occur. Remember that trip to smoking no smoking can be easy if you plan and prepare well.

You must not fail at anything in life!haha fair play on the 10 weeks,I'm just over 6.I actually feel worse,not sure if it's my body adjusting or something unrelated.

Off them four month, used champix. I was off them for twelve years and relapsed for two.

15 days off them, and not a withdrawel symptom in sight!!!

in fact, so much so that im getting worried, should i not be coughing up half a lung or getting a seriously bad flu at this stage??

im not dying for a fag, nor am i feeling any effects ( good or bad ) having stopped. dont get me wrong, im very happy i have stopped and will never go back, was just sick sick sick of smoking. but i thought there would be somemore side effects of quitting??

i was smoking for about 25 years, im only 38 yrs old!

This is interesting.

I quit a few years ago, it was bloody tough going. I managed to stay off them for a couple of years and complacency got me.That was 5-6 years ago. My second attempt was recently.

I quit 13 days ago and while I have had my moments, I never once considered lighting up. Like you, I was just sick sick of smoking. A switch in my head was pushed. I have not read Alan Carr's book but I believe it's this shift in thinking is what we have achieved.

While I have had no mental battles within myself, (that debate on having a sneaky cig) I have certainly had physical symptoms. Day 6 was the worst. very irritable, I still would not consider lighting up. I am done with fags, there is no place for them in my life. I see other people smoke and am completely indifferent to it. no thoughts one way or another.

Since then, I can feel the monster die a slow death, getting weaker by the day.

If you are thinking of quitting or recently quit, the first week is tough, after that it gets easier, much easier. Every day will see big improvement.


Reading this forum,and others like it, really helped me in my first few days.

I went on a hike with a few friends and thought mountain rescue would have to be rang for me....

I finished the pack that I had and haven't bought a pack since. That was 13 days ago. I did give in and had 2 drags of one when I was having a few drinks on Saturday night but after that I didn't want more because I thought I would get sick from it.

I'm doing with no help except remembering how I was beside the ocean and could not catch a breath for most of that 8Km hike and thought my lungs would burst.

I am just worried about cravings and I haven't had any yet and really hoping it stays this way
