Hey, guys.

Today will be my last day posting for a week, maybe two. I've decided to stop smoking completely--I slowed down but I wanna stop altogether--the problem is, I can't be under any stress while I do it; and whenever I get excited over a post, I have to rip my patch off and start smoking. I've ripped three patches so far; so maybe I should stop posting for a little while--at least until I get step one (of the patch) down pat. I'll still post throughout the day (I ripped yesterday's patch, so I have a pack of smokes that won't be gone until sometime tomorrow) but after today I'll be out for a spell.

Roxie, Yvette, Reneta, Kola--keep holding it down. Peace.

Ms. Tonya - I didn't realize that posting to discussion boards was so stressful. Good luck with your smoking cessation program.

Hi Tonya.

Sorry I'm LATE. :-)

Patches are NOT good.

I used to smoke 2 packs
a day and I did everything
to quit.

Nothing worked.

Then one day---I went to the U.S. Department of Health and
they gave me their
FREE QUIT SMOKING program.

It worked like a charm.

You do it by attacking the actual Physical Addiction by weaning the brain off schedule:

(a) When you first wake in the morn....don't allow yourself a cigarette until you've been up (out of bed) for 1 hour.

No cigarette with Coffee, no cigarette PERIOD until you've been up and about for more than 1 hour.

After about an hour awake---you're allowed a cigarette.


HERE'S THE BIGGIE:

(b) Right after all meals---you must wait 90 minutes before you can have a cigarette.


(c) After 8 pm at night--only allow yourself 1 (that's UNO) cigarette. You decide when---but there is for 90 minutes after DINNER or any snack.

(d) Right before bed at night---Brush the BACK of your tongue before bed with a powerful toothpaste. No cigarette before or after bed.


THIS PROGRAM WORKS LIKE A CHARM, because you still get your nicotine but you eliminate your "cravings" first by not having a cigarette at all check-points when your body and brain are most used to being fed the nicotine.

This is supposed to take a month, but I quit cold turkey on the 12th day and haven't smoked in 5 years.

After the CRAVING "checkpoints" are NOT FED---it's Super Easy to not pick up a cigarette.

For instance, after about 6 days of not having a cigarette after eating----I found myself not wanting one at the end of my 90 minute wait. I was able to just stop having them.

I tell people all the time about this program, but they don't do it.

Kola:

HERE'S THE BIGGIE...

Tonya:

Sistah! If I could do "the biggie!"... I'd be in REALLY good shape!

Kola:

I tell people all the time about this program, but they don't do it.

Tonya:

Whaaaaaaat???? Get the fuck outta here!!

LOL.

No, seriously, if the patches don't work, I'll give it a try. Thanks a million.

I'll miss you :-(

I recently quit myself. My husband buys them, and I ALWAYS had to have 2 cigarettes a day (not much, but still...). I just quit running to the car (where he "hid" them) every night to get them.


I only smoked a couple because I refused to buy cigarettes. Try that also. If you have to "bum" a cigarette here and there or get some from a relative, you will smoke much less than if you buy a pack and don't have to limit yourself. You can only bum so many.....but if you have your own stash, you can smoke all day....SO DON'T BUY ANY!

Reneta, thank-you so much.... If you can do it with a smoker in the house, I know I can do it. My friend doesn't smoke--(which is partly why I have to stop completely)--and none of my girlfriends smoke--that should make it a bit easier since I won't be able to bum or anything else. Hopefully, it'll all work out fine.

Tonya,

My mother used to crew nicorette gum then gradually weaned herself onto regular chewing gum.

Ever tried that?
