Doctors don’t know how to help after quitting smoking.

[RickyShakaZulu]

My whole smoking life I was told to quit. Now I’m quit and all my doctors have no help for me. Worthless people who tell you to change. But when you change, they have no help for you. It’s all smoke and mirrors. They know it’s hard to quit, so the odds of you needing their help is low. I miss smoking.

Totally understand! Have you tried Wellbutrin? It helps me a lot. Smoking is damn enjoyable and it sucks quitting! I couldnt go to the bathroom and that was my biggest issue w quitting. I wasn’t about to take laxatives and get addicted to that 😂😂😂. I ve switched to American spirits and they are - to me - much less addictive than Marlboro and the like. I also quit for a year (and never hung out with smokers cuz I couldn’t!) when I had a dental implant and was sooo afraid of dry mouth or root rot or whatever. It’s definitely not easy. I’d recommend based on my experience to keep trying even if you keep failing.

Soooo true about #2. I miss that coffee and cigarette in the morning. I’m still quit after 3 years. It’s been terrible. Pills don’t help, and I’ve tried therapy too.

Yes I found exactly the same. Well done for quitting as it sure isn't easy.

There is a quit smoking site on here called Quit. This is for people to give up and more importantly stay stopped. They are a busy site and offer great support so why not give them a try.

I try to stay clear of quit sights. I can be very negative about quitting. I have nothing positive to say about 3+ years cigarette free. I will check it out but I can never tell anyone to quit. I’ve found the whole process terrible and have lost almost everything in life just to be smoke free.
