Stopping myself from starting to Smoke again

Some people I know gave up by reading a book by Alan Carr (no not the comedian )
They reckoned it worked for them (you might get it on e-bay or Amazon)

My Uncle is using those Electric Cigarettes & he says it works for him.

Paul McKenna's Hypnotism Cd's work for some people, I think it all depends on the person, some things work for some & some for others

 

Not totally true about electric cigs. You can get them with NO nicotine in them if you so choose. So you can get no nicotine electronic cigaretts to meet the need or they do make herbal cigaretts that most head shops cary called Extacy which have no tobacco or nicotine in them. June

 

I drink lots of water. When I'm at work we don't get breaks or anything so those nicotine monkeys get to screeching quite loudly. In order to push through it I just constantly drink water. It's healthy. It's somewhat similar to the smoking pattern in terms of the repeatedly putting something on your lips. Or maybe even a water bottle.

 

My grandfather used peppermints to keep from smoking. For awhile his tongue was raw from non-stop eating peppermints, but it worked.

 

I ran and biked and lifted stuff until I would nearly collapse from exhaustion. Just jump on a bike and go for 25mi, regardless of weather. It worked, but it was difficult but at least the exhaustion would keep my mind preoccupied.

I mean sure there are limits to training where you really do start to harm yourself and that would be bad but realistically It would take a long time until I hit that peak considering my current shape.



*Cough* It's easier than heroin *Cough*Cough*.

 

What helped me quit smoking was keeping my hands and mouth busy (chewing gum, Gameboy, eating, trumpet etc.)

I also had trouble quitting smoking when I was dealing with depression and definitely found it really hard to resist when I wasn't dealing with it properly. So it's good to hear you're getting help!
