Anyone else quit smoking recently?



I am at 3 months with a couple setbacks. How can I stay quit for good?

When you think you can't go another minute without a cigarette, go find something to eat. Specifically some low fat meat like chicken, or other protein if you are a vegetarian, and a bit of carbohydrate. While an apple would be ideal, since you need help now, go for a cracker or a single cookie. Also if you have peanuts or almonds on hand (and are not allergic) eat them up. They are protein and good fat.

Don't eat a lot of this though. A snack is about one ounce of protein and a small amount of carb if you are a woman. Double that if you are a man. Don't worry about the amount of nuts.

Eat this instead of lighting up. Chew slow and enjoy like you would the cigarette. Then drink 8 oz of water and do something that raises your heartbeat for a while, even just breathing in and out. Laughing is the best for this. Singing is good also.

If you do this every time you want a cigarette, you should not gain much weight, if any at all, and should feel great.

Best of continued success!!
no but i really want to, gues i don`t have the will power like some people. good for you!!
if you had a cpl setbacks don`t be upset with yourself, it happens sometimes, if you live with someone who is a smoker then its hard sometimes because of the temptation, go outside or ask politely to this person to please smoke in another room, etc.... try the patch if you haven`t allready, i`ve heard it has worked well with some people i know.just have will power, tell urself I CAN DO IT.. good luck
Been about 3 weeks for me. I stay strong by avoiding triggers. I drink lots of water on while on the pc (which is when I smoked a lot) and when I get the urge at work to step outside, I rearrange the display case. If all else fails, I make myself wait 5 minutes to see if I still want one. The craving is usually gone by then.
chew whiting gum and get obsessive about your teeth
