Quit Smoking (read all 4 entries…)
NEED SERIOUS HELP WITH THIS!

I’ve tried this so many times. And it’s really really difficult for me. The brain cells smoking occupies, the activity, the habitation of idle time, the hand to mouth motion… those are all really big draws for me. The most irritating thing of all is that when I know I have things I need/want to be doing… but want to put them off… having a cigarette is a way for me to feel like I’m successfully completing an action at least. It’s total bullshit and I’m sick of it… but I have a neighbor who is my smoking pal and I work at a bar and there are just so many opportunities to fail at quitting that I’ve not pulled it off for more than a week or so! ANY support, advice, words of encouragement or warning would be GREATLY appreciated!! I really want smoking to stop eating up at my health, my mood, my guilt and my wallet!

some tips..

I think if you change your routine, do not smoke inside or in the car, this might help. Also just cut down at first. Slowly decreasing the amount of nicotine your body craves should help a lot. I really hope you make it!

I've read...

... that the most important thing in quitting is to find support from others. So, seek out people who don’t smoke. Look for a quitting buddy (maybe on here?). Read books on how to quit. Let everyone know you’re quitting, and ask them for their support, or at least not to offer you cigarettes. Find a new group activity you might enjoy that doesn’t involve smoking and might get your mind off it for a while.

Goord luck!

You can do it.

E. I did it… I’ve been smoke free almost 6 months. If I can, you can. Be blessed my friend!
