    Have you quit smoking??? Give me some HELP!

    Havent smoked for 3 days. 3 days is like nothing but all smokers here knows that 3 days is a long time...

    Ok, no cigarettes but I drink more and more PEPSI MAX (the drink of life) and eat more, more candy, I´m restless ....


    What did you do and what helped you to STOP?

    You need to use something to help you deal with the craves:

    Nicocure, Nicoderm. Nicorete, whatever, otherwise it's going to be tough.

        Go cold turkey and wait 4 days. By then, all of the nicotine will be out of your blood stream. Stay away from the gum, it is only keeping you addicted

              I used the gum too, avoid cofee, cool drinks, alcohol, I remember I didn't go out for a month after I quit.
              Good luck ;)

                    The best way to break a bad habit is to start a new - but good - one.

                    So, whatever your smoking routine was you need to replace that with another activity if possible. Smoking, drinking, eating, slapping the chicken are not the most advisable but most anything else will do.

                    Lastly, if you are on a smoking routine - as in, it starts back up, you need to stop the routine ... always have a smoke with your coffee? Start drinking w/o the smoke - even if a few minutes before or after. You just have to break that routine so that as soon as you smell coffee you're reaching for your lighter!

                        I smoked 1/2 to a full pack a day. I ended up using the patch (step 2) for 4 days and then quit using it all together. For me it wasnt something to chew on or stick in my mouth that bugged me, it was not having something between my fingers that drove me nuts. I carried around a chopped up pencil around for a week or so. This past Feb 7th was my one year.

                                      i'm going on my second month, i quit cold turkey, no gums, no patches i found that drinking a lot of water helped. keep low calorie snacks around too so you won't get fat. unless you just don't have a prob with weight ever, in that case eat like crazy...oh and the first few days I slept as much as I possibly could so i didn't have to deal with the withdrawls... and remember it takes at least 3 weeks to make something a habit, so give yourself at least that amount of time to make new habits. I had a real hard time working those first couple weeks cause I smoked the most sitting here at my desk working, it drove me crazy not having a cig when i got frustrated with something i was working on.
                                      good luck!! hang in there!! don't give up blah blah blah...

                                        It's a hard road, try gum, and you will gain weight.

                                            Congrats on quiting...

                                            As everyone here has already said, replace your bad habit with something good.
                                            Some sort of exercise or healthy snack is probably your best bet

                                            Good Luck

                                                I quit Jan 5th. I was too much of a pussy to go cold turkey so I went with Nicoderm CQ patches. Those things worked wonders! The hardest part was the routines (after dinner, first thing in the morning, etc).

                                                To break those routines the first few days, sucking on lollipops helped. When I'd get the urge to have something in my hand, I'd grab a straw and hold it like a cigarette. The first 3 days were the worst. It only gets better from there.

                                                    Try sunflower seeds... worked for me. Quit cold turkey, ate sunflower seeds for the first couple of weeks when i had a craving. Haven't smoked in 3 years. Good luck.

                                                      quit smoking...start exercising daily...try running everyday or walking everyday. it helped me because I felt I performed better when I could breath easy.

                                                        Stop drinking caffeine, caffeine dehydrates you which increase the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Good luck you can do it.

The first two weeks were rough but breaking the habit of "mindlessly grabbing a cigarette" was even harder to break and took about a year.

                                                                  Just don't give up -- that's the only thing.

                                                                                There are two things to break, the addiction and the habit.
                                                                                I used the patch to deal with beating the cravings and gradualy lowering the nicotine in my body. This leaves you free to not stress and work on geting rid of that 'hand to mouth' habbit. Find something to do with your hands.

                                                                                Avoid the 'triggers' that make you want to smoke.

                                                                                Take some walks daily and enjoy the feeling of the air in your lungs, you will quickly notice the diference in lung capacity, you can soon walk further & faster without becoming short of breath.

                                                                                Find a reason to HATE smoking, this isnt hard so just pick one and bring it up everytime you feel like a smoke.

                                                                                Find yourself a class that does, yoga, chi gung, meditation or whatever takes your fancy. You will learn some valuable relaxation and breathing techniques to deal with any stress.

                                                                                This all worked for me and its been 18months.
