And if you are having a really hard time go talk with someone and get it out! oh and if you think you will not be able to survive the next few months call your dad and talk to him over the phone. :) [ Balloona_saur101's advice column | Ask Balloona_saur101 A Question ]
LoLo2454 answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 7:38 pm: ok, Definitly chew nicotine gum. It will kill your craving. That would be good. To keep you from going crazy go out with your friends more. Just so you can get away from your family. Or go for walks, to clear your mind. Maybe call your dad so you can talk with him. Hope I helped!
Lady_M answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 6:00 pm: try to get out with friends, do sports- like run around outside, turn on ANGRY music and dance around your room to wear you out, write-even if your not that good it always seems to work for everybody!-, get outside away form your mom and sisters, and the people that make you insane, and that wont tempt you to smoke.
MakalahLea answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 5:32 pm: One of the most absorbing activities that I can think of is photography. If I want to get away from the junk that is going on around me I grab a camera, drive or walk to the nearest stretch of woods and shoot for a few hours. You can photograph anything that interests you ie: graveyards, creeks, people, buildings, clouds, trees, animals, cars, water, etc. It will give you something productive and distracting to do that will take you out of your house and off by yourself. I know that if left alone, I can spend all day outside taking shots of the everything that I see. To quit smoking, there are a few things that have worked for my family members. First thing is invest in a lot of sugarless gum. Everytime the urge to light up hits you, pop in a stick of gum. Second thing is a pen. Every time you get the urge to smoke, chew on the pen top. Most smokers smoke because they are used to holding something in their hands or putting something up to their lips. Try these two suggestions and see if they help. If not, you might think of asking your doctor to recommend something to help you quit (like the nicotine based gum, the patch or actual medicine).
The best thing that you can do is stay active. Read, start watching a television show faithfully, chat online, spend time in museums and art galleries, hang out with your friends, go on drives/walks alone, get a pet, something to keep your mind active. Best Wishes! [ MakalahLea's advice column | Ask MakalahLea A Question ]
evilenterprisesinc answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 5:23 pm: ok.. so it seems that you have had some hard times in your life? maybe donated a kidney.. or kidney failure. hang on.. thats non of my busyness... ok so like.. how old are ya? in your mid 20's? early 20's? im 17 and the best way i zone out is going for a drive in my car with my subs blaring.. it kinda beats the frustration out of me.. but if your in your early mid 20's you may not really be into that stuff.. so maybe you need a punchin bag.. something to hit when you get really frustrated...
DrAnqel answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 5:05 pm: Ways to zone out. My specialty. Well, as nerdy as it sounds, a great way to zone out is by reading. If you get into a long, interesting book, or something, that's a great way. As long as you keep yourself occupied with something other than smoking or your family. Other things you could do, write, listen to music, paint, clean, puzzles, anything really that keeps your mind occupied. It's good that you want to quit smoking. Well, I hope I helped, good luck, keep me posted? -Angel [ DrAnqel's advice column | Ask DrAnqel A Question ]

SuddenlyFem answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 4:34 pm: I know this seems kind of corny, but try meditation. Always worked for me when my boyfriend and his kids get on my nerves. It puts you in a completly foreign frame of mind. And instead of escaping and relying on self destructive ways to escape a situation or problem you are actually just escaping within yourself.

Cindy answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 4:30 pm: 1. smoking is BAD. long story short.
2. if that's the only thing that's keeping you sane then try something else, like, dum-dums or gum. it's probably an oral fixation. but don't jeopardize your life if you don't need to. :-D Bee Happy Bee Healthy [ Cindy's advice column | Ask Cindy A Question ]
