Quit Smoking

[shubhamrathore]

today is my third day.....any suggestions??

[beardy_chris]

Any problems? What are you finding difficult? Where are the temptations for you?

There's plenty of good general advice around on the web (e.g. nhs.uk) but, if you let us know your specific challenges, at least one of us will have some ideas on ways to get around it.

Well done so far!

Nthg much, however few urges... but it lost when u strat smthg else. when these urges are very strong, i take one nicotine gum of 2 mg, i have limited these gums, maximum 4 a day.

Well done, I do it One day at a time, or an hour at a time if it gets tough. I drink lots of water too.

This is my 4th attempt this year to stop, i find it hardest when im arround people who smoke, as soon as i am able to over come this i know i will be smoke free with ease.

Hi Sophloch

You are a fighter and that's great. It is a pig this addiction, and unlike some very lucky people, most of us don't find it that easy! So I'm wishing you power to your punching this thing out, and maybe some comfort, cos I know you will win, you've had enough of smoking, but need some good strategies. I think the more we try (and also fail occasionally!) the closer we get to getting the strategies in place for the next, and hopefully final, round.

I don't know if it can work for you, but I've found that if I really really feel I have to, I can now have an ecig with smoker friends. Its the odd time at the pub for me. Usually ends up with discussion about how much better this vaping is than cigarettes - but stopping short of evangelising for sure

Wishing you all the best for your quit. We are all in it together
