quit smoking forever

Watching videos on lung cancer didn't do it. I've cut down
but it's very hard to quit. I've started some hypnotherapy to
learn to relax and breathe deeply and it's increasing my
desire to quit, but I need some things that were the deciding
factor in helping you quit. Thanks very much.

Believe it or not, I tried all the gimmicks and none of them worked. What worked was putting myself in a position where cigarettes were not available for 4 days. ( In 3 days the craving will peak and start to diminish.) I went camping in the woods without cigarettes.
When I returned home, I ate a lot of sugar free life savers. Whenever I found myself wanting a cigarette, (Fidgeting, After meals, Wish I could say after sex, but wasn't that lucky), I popped a sugar free life saver. I used Sugar Free because I didn't want to gain a lot of weight.
I also avoided the places where I enjoyed smoking. The pool hall, bars, etc.
After 3 months, I no longer had the craving. After 6 months I became one of those reformed smokers that complain about everyone else doing what I used to do.
It takes a lot of will power, Good Luck

If you#39;re planning to quit smoking cigarettes in 2009, take a look at our essential tips for staying away from the smokes.

I have tried to quit cold turkey 3 times but can't stick to it. Cutting sdown slowly doesn't work fo rme either. I DO really want to quit but the addiction is really strong.

I smoked for 20 years and have stopped for 10 weeks now. I used patches (available from NHS) and prepared myself very well by changing some routines, especially in the morning. I haven't found it anything like as hard as I thought I would. I also read the Allen Carr Easyway book which is a great help. The book tells you not to use patches but I found the combination worked for me.
If it helps I feel SO much better since I stopped, can really notice the money I'm saving and my skin looks 10 years younger!

I quit smoking and in the first week I noticed I could run further and breath better. I also have alot more energy that I used to. It makes a big difference in sleeping patterns as well.

Its been a month now and every night without fail i have these really crazy dreams, i mean really crazy. Am I alone?

No you are not alone. It's totally normal to have crazy dreams after you stop smoking pot if you have been an active smoker for a long time. Your brain is having to rewire itself in a way. When you smoke pot you slow down and kill brain cells and the natural sequences that occur within the brain. When you stop the brain starts working harder, especially when you sleep to get back into a normal pattern and it causes you to have crazy dreams. They slowly go away and eventually you will sleep a good nights sleep. Your brain is able to think again and it does it's best thinking and recovering while you are asleep. Bravo for your quitting smoking pot!
