Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Very simple: Refuse to light the next cigarette. Always keep a packet of cigarettes to hand. The craving soon passes. I stopped 12 years ago. Always remember that you cannot ever smoke just one for that only rekindles the dying embers. It worked for me , I hope it works for you. Any serious quitters please feel free to write to me for advise. --- spreadwingsdove <spreadwingsdove wrote: > Hello, > > Does anyone have any advice or something to share on > how you managed to > quit smoking without drugs/nicotine chewing gum, > etc? > > Thanks for your time, > Jennifer > minimalisticliving/?yguid=165871065 > > _________ Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with For Good http://uk.promotions./forgood/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing the habit with something healthy like jogging and jazzercise worked for me. I found that you have to change your state of mind, and not think of it as denying yourself of a 'wonderful pleasure', take it for what it really is, and think of it regaining respect for your internal body and not subjecting it to any intense abuse anymore. You are in control, your lungs are depending on you only. Since I've quit, I don't preach to any co-workers or friends to stop, but when I see people light up I feel sorry for them. Nothing sadder to watch someone on a 15 minute break, go outside in the blowing snow, lighting a second cigarette with their first, and sucking in harder and longer, because that will have to last them till their next break. I've 'been there and done that' and it's truly senseless. Photo comparisons of healthy lungs next to smoker's lungs is probably what pushed me over the edge to finally quit for good. http://www.stop7.ch/lungs.php Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
