OK i have been smoking for many years now i started at 15 under peer pressure i am 25 now and i regret ever starting. Ii have quit two times both times were when i was pregnant and i was so stupid to start again my husband would not quit after my second baby was born and i hated the smell well i got into a fight with him and had a cigarette and that was all it took. I want to quit also but i am so addicted to putting in my mouth and inhaling it's not the nicotine for me it's the puff it's the 5 minutes of peace from my kids or when i worked to get away to go outside and be alone i want to quit again as well but i know I'm not ready this is the hardest point where you are right now when you hit 5 days it is so much easier you don't crave it because the nicotine is out of your system. Chewing gum helped me and also i hate to smoke right after i brush my teeth so i would brush my teeth every time i had a craving and it worked. Also the have these nicotine cigarettes that you puff on to help ween you off it's like the patch but in like an inhaler form you don't light it just twist it on and off there is no smoke you just suck in air and it gives you little doses of nic to help ween you down like the patch. I commend you for trying to quit i know it's hard but if you really want to stop then don't give in to the temptation. I know this sounds stupid but a lot of it is psychological and i told myself this is my last cigarette and i told my empty pack goodbye and i would miss it but i had to move on and i threw it in the trash it helps your mind let go of the attachment(I'm not crazy LOL) We are here for you and also sunflower seeds, Popsicles, jolly ranchers and anything you can chew on helps to. Good luck!! |
