Hi Im New To The Forum And On Day 2 Of My Quitting Program, Not Doing Too Bad At The Moment ( Using Patches) It Has Been Scary The Way I Felt Yesterday Was Strange I Am 46 And Have Been Smoking Since I Was About 15 So It Has Been A Long Time. I Have Read The Posts On This Forum And Took Some Very Good Tips From It The Only Thing Is How People Say Going Cold Turkey Is Best. Not Really Ready For The Thought Of That This Step Has Been Hard Enough, Look Forward To Reading More Tips Etc

[nsd_user663_852]

There is no 'best' way to do this, you need to do what is right for you! Some are fine with cold turkey some are not, some do well with patches, others don't.

You might have to try lots of different methods until you find what works best. BUT, you must try something! If things are getting tough, go for a walk. If it's still tough, go and get some patches. Not enough? Try gum as well! Still no good? Ride a bike, open a bottle of wine, visit a friend, brush the dog, tidy the shed, just do anything!

Eventually you WILL find what works for you! Sitting there and 'sweating it out' seems to me to be the hardest, most miserable way to go (though apparently it works for some).

Your level of addiction is just that, YOURS! Only you know how you feel and what you will be happy with, experiment to find your solution!

Reading the messages on this forum will help as some of the withdrawal symptoms will become a bit clearer, got my grandaughter tommorrow so thats good running after a toddler keeps me busy.Still trying to find my way around this forum hope Im on the right bit Cheers Little Sue

[nsd_user663_1704]

Sorry it's harder today Dumplin x x

It's easy to give in to the craving, it takes real strength to stand up to it and show the Nasty Nicotine gezza whos Boss!!

Keep strong and bare with it x x remember the craving will ease, try sipping water, going for a walk, run out as far as possible and scream as loud as you can

You can do this Dumplin, you're strong!

Little sue .............

Volcano is absolutly right

People Say Going Cold Turkey Is Best.

I am so sorry Sue that's so unfair, certain posts on this forum have been left in place that should be removed!!

The only way to quit smoking is to stop picking up cigarettes and lighting them and inhaling them!! By ANY WAY OR MEANS!!

We are a network of supporters not preachers x x x x Your doing a fantastic Job of not smoking Sue and we are behind you all the way! whichever way YOU choose!

Well done and keep it up!!

Oh dear just took my sons coat out of washing machine and found I washed it with his very expensive MP3 player in the pocket !!! Im not going to be very popular better get my head straight and try to work out how to dry it out, didnt reach for a fag which is good

[nsd_user663_1704]

ROFL

It should dry out fine all by it's self, he should be responsible for leaving stuff in his pockets! if he put it in the wash it's his fault.

I have washed an Mp3 player, tamagotchi and mobile phone amongs many other objects! the only one above that died was the mobile phone >< hehe

Well Done for not going for a Fag!!

[nsd_user663_1775]

Quick question, if I have nicotine gum can I chew my nice gum at same time to make it taste better ? Sorry if that sounds stupid just didnt know who to ask though you guys would know :confused:

[nsd_user663_1775]

nah

lol its coz ya a sad act i reckon

xxxxx

[nsd_user663_1704]

Not a silly question at all! got me thinking!

I reckon ordinary will be ok with it, if its a set mg it'll be that mg, like a double vodka is a double vodka neat or with mixer, I heard other people doing it. However a neat vodka does hit the spot a lot quicker than with a mixer!

I know more about vodka than NRT sorry Lol

I would say you should 'Suck it and See'

I light my first cigarette at the age of 13. Since then I’ve been actively smoking for 12 years. Now, I’m a non-smoker for over a year. I discover the big secret for quitting forever. Therefore, I decide to help people who are willing to quit for good. smokerness.com is a site dedicated to all researchers who are searching for answers. Please, research the subjects carefully, read the posts couple of times if necessary, and I can guarantee you results.

Don’t stop researching, and have a nice trip!
