Getting rid of coffee addiction (& smoking)

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Malinda,

 

I have been nicotine free for four years and three months. It was a

difficult addiction to over come, but I realized I was facing

discomfort when I made the decision and just allowed discomfort to

occur. Understand that like any addiction, once you quit, you quit,

that one puff, one what ever will take you right back to where you

began.

 

I took my first yoga class about 5 months after quitting smoking and

still had the urge to smoke now and again. Breath of fire and long

deep breathing reminded me why I quit, thus helping the psychological

craving, and helped with the physical craving as well. I found a

support group online. We were assigned a team and emailed each other

every day. I did use nicotine gum for the first week or so, but since

I do not like chewing gum, that was easy to leave behind. If you would

like more information on the support group, email me directly.

 

Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for yourself and

those who love you.

 

Wahe Guru!

I, personally, would LOVE to hear more about you kicked the smoking

addiction! I am struggling with this right now. One month ago I quit

for a week and was so happy about it, then did the 'Oh, I can just

enjoy one' thing and now fell back into the trap. Any advice would be

greatly appreciated!
