Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Sat Nam, I am trying to quit smoking as well and go on/off with it. Breath of Fire sounds good but my colleagues might freak out. I am going to try the meditation for conquering addictions for 40 days starting next Monday. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Good luck with it Malinda!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Many thanks to all of you for our advices on quitting coffee,, The first couple of days where tough, very low energy , falling asleep all day ,headaches, even feeling a bit depressed. Now on my 3rd day , and down to 3 coffes a day from 10, it's getting much better.. I'm drinking lots of infusions , including yogi tea and feeling a bit low but nearly getting back to normal. It's amazing if we have the patience and determination of putting up with the bad symptoms for a few days, how quickly they dissapear. I quit smoking one year ago.. And for those who are trying, in my own experience, apart from doing the right kryas, really it's all about the same , DETERMINATION, and full CONVINCEMENT, that's what you really want...... What helped me a lot on the firs day was going back to my last Sunday with that terrible smoking hangover.... Every time I needed a ciggy, just immediately felt the headache, sore throat ,nausea, and general bad state I was in that last Sunday......and it worked..my body just did not want that again..... I've smoked for 25 years non stop and I assure you , once you are determined to quit... The withdrawl symptoms are not that bad.. The psychological symptoms, anxiety, nerves ,food craving, dissapeared after a month. The physical symptoms, in my case bloated stomach, general stomack discomfort, gastritis, and constipation lasted for two months, and after 6 months , my bowels went completely back to normal. (I didn't try any nicotine stuff) It seems like crazy, once you are "out" ... How can we punish our bodies, "temples of our souls", so badly , for so long.............. I put on 5 kilos.... Which don't bother me at all, in fact, am quite proud of them... Good luck to all of you who are trying... Sat nam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
