Going to Quit Smoking

[COPPERHEAD85]

24 hours since last cigg from 2 packs a day.

Keep me in your prayers guys........I really want to quit!

You and me both! Made it a whole month last time and then the wife asked for the divorce. Just going cold turkey or find a secret weapon? We all quit sooner or later, I'd just rather that time be of my own choice.

A few people at work have had success with Chantix (spelling?).

Good luck with your journey Copper. It's not anything I'd want to go through.

Good luck man. And yes Chantix works wonders.

having worked in a cancer center, i like the 'shotgun' approach:
do the chantix, go to hypnosis, use the patch, meditation, whatever... do them all because you don't care which one of them works best as long as it works!
best of luck to you for sure!!!

chantix is where its at. me and my brother and sister got both my parents and almost all of my aunts and uncles to stop. they all used it and loved it( well sort of loved it)

I wish you the best copperhead. I quit recently and found it takes the right state of mind. I fought myself over buying a pack for week or so, then i gota new state of mind: I'm not a smoker!

and I believe it.

And thats when things got easier.

i was quit for a month. i used chantix and it worked great but then i made aa mistake. i figured that since i wasnt having the cravings bad anymore that i would stop taking the chantix. WRONG! someone offered me a cig when i was drinkin one night and i was instantly hooked again. im a failure lol.

Remember, it's all in your head.

Your mind can be more powerful than any physical addiction/want/need/desire.

This!

I quit slowly but without any help from anything. Keep your mind focused on quitting and you'll quit. I have cravings almost daily and I haven't touched them for over a year now.

i sort of did the cold turkey approach. i just quit and then only hand one every few months while i was drinking. eventually i stopped doing that. i only smoked for maybe 4 years and most of that was just a pack a week, if that.

when i want one, i just think of a buddy of mine whose dad just got diagnosed with cancer. he has so many tumors they arent even gonna do anything....found out the week before fathers day. 2 packs a day for 30+ years is gonna take you down eventually. that's all the motivation i need to stay off of them.

oh, and good luck

good luck copperhead, I'm working on 9 months without a chew of snuff so i know your impulses to light up again.. just find another substitute chew on a drink straw anything to keep your mind busy

 

[Psychopete]

Sounds like a lot of work!! Good luck! Just remember that you've made it this far, no sense in starting over again!

Well you know well my opinions on quitting smoking as I have posted it many times in the forums.

I wish you all the best with it. Break a leg and hang in there with it! This is the one thing you can win by quitting. Kick butts mister!
