I need some advice on how to quit smoking!!? |
My husband and I are both smokers and we have decided to quit cold turkey. We decide that when the last pack is gone, we wont buy anymore. We are doing this together to make it a little easier. So I guess my question is What are somethings that my husband and I can do to make this a little easier. We want to make sure that we do this and we do this right. So I guess I would also just like to hear that others have been able to do it as well. Any help any advice would be nice thank you in advance. I quit cold turkey in September and am still going strong. My boyfriend is a non-smoker, so that helps immensely. I'd say the biggest thing to keeping it up is distancing myself from smokers or smoky environments. I try not to be one of those people who says "eww, I can't go in there because it's smoky" or other irritating things like that that always bugged me about non smokers, though. It's definitely tough in familiar situations in which smoking was always the conversation starter, or something I did after eating, but you really just have to want to do it and be willing to perservere. It's been a little over 7 months for me now, and I feel great. I've gotten past that stage of thinking of myself as a smoker, which was a huge hurdle. As long as you and your husband are both committed to the idea of quitting, and you're truly ready to do it, you can. Best of luck to you! Willpower is very much needed. By quiting together your making it 10 times easier. When you do get a craving do something else take up kniting or something with your hands and every craving drink a glass of water. I had the help of Zyban maybe you should look into it, It stops the brain waves that make you crave. Good Luck! a pack a day of cigarettes - $6.50 a pack a month -$195.00 quitting cigarettes and buying something worth $200.00 a month ..... PRICELESS! happy to hear that...when u guys will completely quit smoking u'll come to know that, that's the best thing ever happen to u... Best of luck both of u...Enjoy healthy life...!! Looks like you got some good advice. My husband and I have tried this technique several times and failed. i hear it is all about whether or not you are truly ready to quit. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BOTH!!! i give ur best advice....if u want quit smoking u can used the Medicine http://www.skincarefairy.com from regular to lights to cold turkey. occasionally lapsing but eventually replaced with something for fingers to do instead of reaching for it... e.g., computers. sometimes i get headaches but i always think that headaches could have been worse if i had quit later. it was really hard. sorry i'm unable to give more details, it was a long time ago. |
