Thread: smoking

Hi, I've heard a lot of good things about chantax. I think thats what it's called. It's a prescription pill but some insurances dont cover it. My mother has been smoking for about 35 years and quit off that. Although she is a drinker so it's been hard. She also said you get sick. I think it's from the pill and the sickness is when you smoke on it. So it's supposed to make you not want to. I also heard smokes don't taste as good.

I would also sugguest doing something in the car. I bought a squishy ball from Target to play with in the car, becuase that is the worse for me. As you probably know the habbit is the hardest to kick. I would try to substitute it with a little work-out in the morning, even 5 minutes, because we all know that's the first thing we do in the morning is light up. good luck to you! They say anyone can do it, if you ARE REALLY READY!!!

Try replacing the activity with something else. I took up a sport that made it pretty much impossible to smoke. Eventually I was just grossed out by the thought of smoking.

Like the other poster said, try a little workout in the morning. When quit, I began by cutting out certain cigarettes during the day. The first morning smoke was the first to go since that would trigger an entire day of smoking. Then I started getting rid of the last one at night.....and so on until I was only having one a day. That was the hardest to give up but once I started working out really hard I just couldn't enjoy it anymore and I'm now in the best shape of my life.

Good luck to you.

Hi I quit smoking about 6 months ago with hypnosis. I had smoked for 25 years and had tried EVERYTHING to quit (including hypnosis twice over years).
If you choose to go this direction. Check out the office throughly and make sure they supply you with a CD to take home and a a guarantee to come back until you have totally quit.

I was very nervous to quit since it was my identity for so long (wondered what to do with all the spare time, What would happen when I had a couple of drinks etc......) Besides remembering to take a deep breath once in a while and alot of toxin coming out of my system. I gained no weight, went to a smoke filled bar the next day NO PROBLEM :>

I hope this helped I know I had a very hard time trying to quit but you will when you are ready. I've got to tell you I am so proud of myself and my friends and family are so envious. Just that makes it worth it.

Good luck!!!
