Hi fellow mates,
I have been surfing all over the places (internet) to find out the best way of "Quit Smoking". It's not my new year resolution to kick out the habit, it is something which I have been thinking since an Year.
Whenever I'm pissed off, I pick a cigarette without even realizing it's harmful. Just after a smoke, I feel like why the hell did I it so. As soon as I throw the stub, I can't really take the stink either from my mouth or fingers.
I even read a lot about the consequences, especially "CANCER" scared me a lot and end up getting a nightmares but still no luck.
I strongly believe that Smokers are heavily handcuffed by the Notorius Tobacco industries as they have evolved so much and filling up a lof of new addictives to tightly hold the smokers throughout their lifespan.
Is there any best rehabilitation center around Sydney who can help? Of course I'll be dedicated and don't sneak around the corner to lit an another one.
Definitely no jokes here please….
No Cheers,
Sowny.
My husband was a smoker from age 14. Before he quit at age 45, he was smoking 2 CARTONS of Horizon 50s a week - that is 8 packets - and had been at that level for a number of years.
He made the decision to quit smoking, and used Nicobate lozenges to help him. That was about six years ago.
He still uses Nicorette Spray from time to time so I guess he has not completely quit the nicotine habit but he has quit the smoking habit. He is healthier in terms of his breathing, heart and lung function etc than he was. Obviously cancer is still a risk. On the upside, we are saving buckets of money and no longer does our house or clothing or possessions stink of smoke. I'm a non smoker, so that is a great positive benefit for me!
It was a struggle in the early days as his mood altered quite significantly, but there were some life factors that exacerbated this. We made some fairly significant changes in our lifestyle then too - for example, sitting round with friends for a drink always involved cigarettes, and these things were so closely bound together that we needed to avoid this completely in order to be successful.
I think everybody's journey to quit smoking is different but ultimately it is all about what is happening in your head. If you can break that, you can get over it.
