Very helpful tool :D

advice

Well i really need to stop smoking cigs. like right now but I am highly addicted. I smoke about a pack a day. How can i get myself to quit. ive used all of the stuff (the gum, the inhaler, the patches) and none of them work. PLEASE HELP

well, obviously it will be very difficult. you are stopping an addiction and you body is craving the substance.

If quitting all together didn't work for you then why not trying to gradually stop. Of course you will have to be willing to do this and set your mind to it.

You have to strict with your self, as well. Such as try only having half as much. Put yourself on a schedule. This way your body will not turn on you as badly. After two weeks, limit half of that again. Keep on doing this till you are at 1 cig a day. Now this will be the hardest. Stop the last one. Remind yourself of the risks.

Also, get support. Ask family and friends to help you. Ask them to only give you a certain amount of cigrettes a day. You can only complete it with their help.

You could aso maybe go to support groups like Smokers Anonymous.

Good luck and start as soon as possible. This is your life that is in jepordy (sp?) and its not worth it to waste it.

one last thing, think of how much money you will be saving by not buying so many cigrettes!

again good luck!
