Elmo Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Good luck! I know you've heard it before but...you may have to try several times. I had to try ALOT OF TIMES. Here is my take on it. Just quit for 15 days. Every time you want a ciggie do something very nice for yourself, like a walk, a healthy snack, etc. A hot bath with nice, smelly soap was my treat. Yep, I was very dry at the end of the 15 day period...but I was not smoking. It was easy to break the shower habit!!!!!!! So...if you eat an apple or orange or even a piece of chocolate when the urge really comes....do it. Easy to give up the apple after your new addiction is started. Ooooops. Maybe not easy if you do the chocolate. You get my drift. If this doesn't work, try something else next month. You are human...you may fail. Just pick yourself up and try again. Good luck.

tiki Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I smoked from age 15-21. I'm now 28 and wouldn't touch tobacco again. I smoked 1/2 a pack a day. I weaned myself off of it. Day 1: 10 cigarettes Day 2: 10 cigarettes Day 3: 9 cigarettes Day 4: 9 cigarettes Day 5: 8 cigarettes Day 6: 8 cigarettes Day 7: 7 cigarettes Day 8: 7 cigarettes Day 9: 6 cigarettes Day 10: 6 cigarettes Day 11: 5 cigarettes Day 12: 5 cigarettes Day 13: 4 cigarettes Day 14: 4 cigarettes Day 15: 3 cigarettes Day 16: 3 cigarettes Day 17: 2 cigarettes Day 18: 2 cigarettes Day 19: 1 cigarette Day 20: Stop! You can wean yourself off of nicotine. I made this system up myself and it worked! When you do quit, you will be only used to smoking once or twice a day...you will only get that craving once or twice a day! To quit cold Turkey while you smoke 10-20 cigarettes a day would be crazy, hard *and* unrealistic! Then after it's all over, you'll realize how bad you REEEEEEEK. Good luck. I know you can do it!
