tried them all...was successful in a short period of time...

But when you work with people, handling complaints (customer service per se)...tension and stress makes me want to puff cigarette like a choo-choo train...lol

Alas, my constant companion would be my brand...

Swissgirl - To quit smoking is very easy. I quit smoking almost on a regular basis for a year. ;-)

OK, enough with those silly jokes. My tip would be to reduce frequency and restrict it to only those times when you desire it the most. Eg: Before breakfast, after a good meal, and after a good bonk with ur partner ;-)

I was able to keep it down to 3 a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner. oops, now you know I wasn't getting much sack action). This was until I gave up altogether. i.e. once you know YOU are in control it's quite easy to stop all-together.

That is nice, I love the raining days and do you know what is the best part of it now? Go outside and try to light up a cigarette, you won't be able to, will get upset with the lighter or cigarette and throw them away. Now you have none here at home, you can' go down to the shop to buy any ... Now it is a good test for your patience and resistance ... For how long can you stay without those :)

Don't curse me for asking you to go out, the whole idea was bad from the beginning but you forgot that because you thought that I would be the good friend asking you to do something good. But wait a minute, good friend does not ask his friend to smoke, ... so let's have a party ... :)

it is indeed crazy, but never stop getting more of this craziness ... that is why your expectations of it would never end ... It is not enough that you got the expected stuff, ... no also the unexpected stuff should be there too ... too much , nah?

1 - Make a good friend and share every sad moment with him.

2 - when stressed, don't be alone. just do some exercise, take a bath, and go out a long-drive with ur friend.

3 - avoid alcohol as much as possible; rather take some fresh juices

How many cigarettes do you smoke daily? Let's say 30 ... Try to reduce that number day by day ... Fight that desire to smoke a cigarette whenever you feel like to. Don't think that the cigarette will make you feel better when you are sad or feeling bad, it would make you feel worse and nervous most of the time. Try to do some sports, eat some fruits whenever you feel like smoking ... Stop thinking that the cigarette would make you feel better, there is nothing like that but those ideas in your mind ... try to erase them ...

Owen suggest and mentioned something like 'Nicotine Cigarettes' [lol Owen, that movie was Meet The Parents :)] that can help in the beginning and would help in quitting. Try to live your life away from trouble and problems, think of the positive things ... attend some of those sessions about people who quit or read about their success stories online ... that would help.

One more last thing SG, you should have the well to do that and never give up. Put a plan and have something like a very good reason in your mind to stop smoking ... If your life, your health, the people around that you love and care about won't be a good reason to quit, so what else can be?

I wish I could advise you on it. I had proudly spoken on this subject few months back when I was high on 3 months break from smoking on another thread.

I guess it requires a very strong mind and will power to make it happen. :(

By alicat• 20 Aug 2007 13:12

- all you have to do is not smoke for about six days - afterwhich all the toxins are out of your body so you should not get physical cravings any longer. Only the mental cravings are there - they are harder to combat as that is what the 'habit' is. Best thing is to think positive, you are now a non smoker. Yes play with your fingers - or toes - get up and do something else, call a friend, do some exercise, do whatever for the mental image of a cigarette in your hand to subside.

is to just STOP...there isn't any best way or easy way to quit smoke.Just quit after that when ever you feel like in stress saddness or anything ....just distract yourself for 5 mins.

That should help.
